Gloucesterbook is groundbreaking American fiction of the 20th century – one of four novels that make up the unconventional and stimulating literary masterpiece GLOUCESTERMAN. In Gloucesterbook, the central character Caleb Karcist – absorbed in his consulting work, creative ideas, and love life – becomes intrigued by the politics, arts, and eccentric society of a fishing port (modeled on Gloucester, Massachusetts) called "Dogtown" on the Atlantic Coast’s "Cape Gloucester" during the 1960s. The novel describes a unique geography that draws to it people with unusual experiences and interests, including businessman Rafe Opsimath, avant-garde poet Ipsissimus Charlemagne, and Fathers Lucey and Duncannon of a tiny High Church religious order. Through the web of Caleb’s work life and friendships, this fiction – with its extraordinarily detailed observations, exuberant language, and quiet humor – weaves together ideas and feelings about business, history, politics, systems, ritual, and sex. This is a novel about mid-20th-century America as experienced in an exceptionally interesting Atlantic seaport where work, love, and creative mind come together.
