Josh RenaudThis summer I completed another "circumnavigation" — a complete reading of all the Aubrey-Maturin novels by Patrick O’Brian — and I was struck by something about the character Awkward Davies that I hadn’t noticed in previous readings.
Justin Waring 🐋@Kirkman Joshua Corey, who blogs the Aubrey-Maturin Review, has a footnote in a separate post about "Bartleby the Scrivener" on Davies's devotion to Jack. Since Jack saved Davies from drowning, Jack providing for him is an "obscure justice", even if Davies could be a handful. https://joshuacorey.substack.com/p/bartleby-boys?utm_source=publication-search#footnote-anchor-1-148123935
