Seagulls In My Soup

Further Adventures of a Wayward Sailor

Tristan Jones

Seagulls in My Soup continues Tristan Jones' adventures following Saga of a Wayward Sailor. Tristan and Nelson, his one-eyed, three-legged Labrador retriever, are aboard Cresswell, a converted Lifeboat ketch in Ibiza, a Spanish island in the Balearics. The very proper Sissie St. John, the Bishop of Southchester's sister is also on board. The scene is set for more adventures and more encounters a la Tristan Jones, including the delivery of a yacht from Algiers to Marseilles with some unexpected machine-gun fire thrown in, and a stormy night mercy mission transporting a battered English lady and Senora Puig, nine months pregnant, who gives birth to Antonio Cecilio Tristan Vedra Pomeroy Cresswell Puig at dawn.

The adventures can be breathtaking and as always, there is seriousness and great hilarity; Tristan's style is inimitable. This self-styled work of "fictionalized fact" -‹displaying the author at his verbal richest -‹ is a paean to the misfits who found refuge in Jones' company. Unforgettable characters, hilarious stories, true Tristan Jones. Join him for more gripping yarns, funny anecdotes and exciting adventures.

"Good dialog and great Jonesian prose, so dense you can walk on it and watch your tracks fill up with seawater." Kirkus Reviews
