📮 Winger's Landfall by Stuart Lauder (.ePUB)(.AZW3)

Below decks on a big liner an intense and curious life goes on. It is in no way like the orderly realm of the passengers. Noisy, sensual, crowded, the men and boys of the crew make their own world. Harry Shears shipped on theCyclamenfor a reason. His job was that of a table steward—a winger—but his purpose was to find out what had happened to his young half-brother. Danny had disappeared overboard on a previous trip and nobody knew why. Suicide, presumably, but for what possible reason? Very quickly, Harry is caught up in the life of the ship. It is a world without women and some of the men are glad to take the woman’s part. The rewards, in comfort, influence and flattered vanity, are immediate. The final result, when the “girl” is too old to play courtesan any more, is usually a life ruined beyond repair. In this strange, perverse half-world Harry Shears is immersed. He too could easily take part: in his own nature there is a strong vein of homosexuality. But he is repelled by the shrillness and self-deception of it all. For him , affection and quietness are what matter, even in an affair between men. He cannot either enter or avoid the world of the queers. Winger’s Landfall builds up a wonderfully strong and pungent image of this strange shipboard existence. In the echoing steel rooms and corridors different characters, forced into proximity, stand out in sharp and startling detail. The affections and conflicts that develop are sudden and violent. Through it all, the story of Harry Shears drives forward to its bitter, inescapable climax.
