Outerbridge Reach is a 1992 novel by American novelist Robert Stone. It was his fifth published novel. PlotThe novel follows the story of a copywriter who enters an around-the-world solo boat race, and a filmmaker who makes him the subject of a documentary.[1] Stone reportedly stated that it is partly based on the real-life story of Donald Crowhurst, though the novel does not mention Crowhurst by name.[2] In a note from the author that appears in the first few attached pages preceding the work, Stone states as follows: "An episode in the book was suggested by an incident that actually occurred during a circumnavigation race in the mid-1960s. This novel is not a reflection on that incident but fiction referring to the present day." See Outerbridge Reach, A Novel By Robert Stone.
