Soft cover. Etat : Fine. The book is in excellent condition. A realist's view of a real place with real people telling their story is what Markham Starr has done with Finest Kind. The understanding of the people of Corea comes from what they told the author. Starr begins with descriptions of this small Maine village in a small harbor. He describes much about lobster fishing, the lobster business, some history, and this community in eastern Maine. With that foundation in place he lets the subjects do the talking. Starr has created a framework on which to air conversations of the young and old, men and women, who offer in their own words an understanding of who these Mainers are. Not just the work they do, but how they think and feel about that work and their lives. The rare quiet and beauty of the place is as grand as making a living here can be difficult. Many lobster fishermen are seen to have an ideal situation. Many feel their situation is ideal for them. Making a decent living, doing what they want, in their own business, in a place they want to be, connected to generations in a way few Americans know today. [Markham Starr] Scarce copy.
