‘Trawl’ is a semi-autobiographical work that explores the thoughts and experiences of its protagonist, a man named Harry, as he reflects on his life and relationships while on a solo fishing trip. The novel delves into themes of isolation, introspection, and the search for meaning in life. Johnson’s innovative narrative style, which blends stream-of-consciousness writing with unconventional formatting, makes “Trawl” a unique and experimental literary work.
