Sea of the Unknown by Richard Bilkey, Jay Swanson

5.0

I've been in a major reading slump recently and was hesitant to pick up another book for fear of getting through a couple of chapters, setting it down, and never returning to it.

Not with this book. I devoured it in a day. The writing was easy to digest but the narrative jumped around enough to keep the momentum up to keep you hurdling through. Comedic moments get your spirits up as Jay writes you through some bleak and low times full of failure and uncertainty.

Definitely recommend this book to folks interested in memoirs (especially by creatives) and anyone who needs assurance that eventually there's success on the other side of failure. It's just not always the success you might have initially imagined it being.
