Synopsis of The Fisher King
En 'The Fisher King', Valentine Beals, una prolífica autora de novelas románticas, reflexiona sobre una pareja aparentemente incongruente a bordo del Alecto: una bailarina virginal y etérea llamada Barberina Rookwood y su amante, Saul Henchman, un héroe de guerra lisiado y emasculado que trabaja como fotógrafo. Beals imagina a Henchman como la reencarnación de una de las leyendas artúricas más misteriosas, el Rey Pescador, un gobernante impotente de una tierra estéril a quien Perceval no supo hacer las preguntas correctas. Este mito, con sus múltiples interpretaciones, se entrelaza con las explicaciones que Powell ofrece a través de sus narradores sobre por qué una joven bailarina talentosa renunciaría a su arte para cuidar a un hombre mayor y débil. Más allá de ser una novela sobre los chismes en un crucero, 'The Fisher King' es una narrativa estilizada impregnada de mitología griega, leyendas y sátira.
