** BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week ** Shark Drunk is, in part, the
tale of two men in a very small boat on the trail of a very big
fish. It is also a story of obsession, enchantment and adventure. A
love song to the sea, in all its mystery, hardship, wonder and
life-giving majesty. In the great depths surrounding the remote
Lofoten islands in Norway lives the Greenland shark. Twenty-six
feet in length and weighing more than a tonne, it can live for 200
years. Its fluorescent green, parasite-covered eyes are said to
hypnotise its prey, and its meat is so riddled with poison that,
when consumed, it sends people into a hallucinatory trance. Armed
with little more than their wits and a tiny rubber boat, Morten
Stroksnes and his friend Hugo set out in pursuit of this enigmatic
creature. Together, they tackle existential questions, experience
the best and worst nature can throw at them, and explore the
astonishing life teeming at the ocean's depths.
