	Metroactive Books \| Francisco Goldman
		Which is why, I think, I was attracted to the sadly ironic The Ordinary Seaman, Francisco Goldman's novel about 15 Central American would-be sailors stranded on an unsailable ship at an abandoned Brooklyn dock.
		But it was Goldman's great depth of field--drawing on stories from one end of the world to the other--along with his extraordinary descriptive and storytelling abilities, that held me enthralled.
		Goldman has that annoying habit of introducing all of his characters virtually at once, as if he is worried that he will forget one or two of them if he doesn't get them on paper right away.

	The Ordinary Seaman
		The other ordinary seaman, Chavez Roque, nearly as tall as Esteban and even darker skinned, looked older than his twenty years, his cleft chin swarthy, chest hair brimming up through the collar of his blue polo shirt.
		Regarding Esteban's qualifications as an ordinary seaman, Adela Suarez had asked him if he was literate and if he knew how to use a paintbrush, and that was almost all she'd wanted to know.
		But Bernardo was aghast, couldn't believe his ears, because he'd detected a clipped, subdued echo of Capitan J. Osbourne's British accent in Elias's perfect nautical Spanish, of a jovial but restrained condescension that inspires respect and obedience rather than resentment--unlike the cynical disdain of Greeks, their boorish capitanes no better than truck drivers.
