Small Boat

Vincent Delecroix

A Channel drowning, and the operator who took the calls, told largely as her own defence.

Vincent Delecroix builds a short novel from a real event: the drowning of twenty-seven people in the Channel in 2021, and the French radio operator who took the distress calls and did not send help. It is told largely in her defence of herself, which is what makes it unbearable.

The opening line of Vincent Delecroix’s masterful short novel Small Boat gains increasing significance as he spins together threads of a story which is as shocking as it is familiar.
