Lewis Buzbee's forthcoming novel, 'Diver', is a poignant exploration of a son's love for his father, set against the backdrop of Northern California. Through the eyes of Robert, the youngest son, readers witness the heart-wrenching aftermath of Mac Macoby's death from a heart attack. The narrative delves into cherished memories and captivating stories shared between father and son, particularly those related to diving. The writing elegantly balances personal grief with the warmth of fond recollections, inviting readers into a deeply emotional and universal experience of loss and remembrance.
Opening with the final moments (by heart attack) of his storied father, 'retired career Navy' veteran Mac Macoby, 'Diver' is narrated by youngest son Robert, 12 years old at Mac's death.
Buzbee's tale feels both cinematic and nakedly personal, told in simple yet shining prose. Often addressing Mac directly - voicing a young son's confused but ironclad adoration.
