Summary "Every Man for Himself" by Norman Duncan is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the rugged backdrop of Newfoundland and follows the life of Tumm, a fisherman who shares tales of his experiences and the eccentric characters around him, particularly focusing on Abraham Botch, a contemplative man from Jug Cove. The narrative explores themes of existence, identity, and the relentless struggle for survival in a harsh, indifferent world. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Tumm and the crew aboard the trader "Good Samaritan" as they anchor in Poor Man's Harbor during a snowstorm. Tumm engages the crew with a philosophical tale about souls and purpose, leading to an encounter with Abraham Botch, who ponders the nature of existence. Through Tumm's storytelling, we learn of Botch's deep questioning about life, the soul, and the universe, which sets the stage for the exploration of profound themes intertwining with the everyday struggles of the fishermen. Tumm's observations and interactions with Botch highlight the tension between whimsical thoughts and harsh realities, framing the novel's exploration of humanity's quest for understanding in an unforgiving environment.
