"Carsten Jensen erzählt in "Wir Ertrunkenen" von Menschen, deren Leben vom Meer bestimmt ist: von Männern, die ihrer Sehnsucht nach Freiheit und Abenteuer folgen, und von Frauen, die dem Meer, das ihnen die Männer und Söhne raubt, den Kampf ansagen. "Wir Ertrunkenen" ist ein pralles, buntes Buch voller phantastischer, komischer und nachdenklicher Geschichten. Alles beginnt im Jahr 1848, als der Seemann Laurids Madsen aus Marstal in den Himmel fliegt und unversehrt wieder zur Erde zurückkehrt. Der Tod hat ihn noch nicht gewollt. Später wird er sagen, seine Stiefel seien zu schwer für ein Leben da oben gewesen. Seither ist Laurids eigenartig, und irgendwann verschwindet er auf den Weltmeeren. Seine Stiefel bleiben zurück, bis sein Sohn Albert sie anzieht. Er macht sich auf den Weg in die Südsee, um seinen Vater zu suchen. Mit dem Schrumpfkopf von James Cook und dem Geheimnis der Geldvermehrung kehrt er als Reeder zurück in seine Heimatstadt. Er weiß, dass im neuen Jahrhundert die Zukunft in den Frachträumen der großen Segelschiffe liegt. Von Marstal aus sollen noch mehr Schiffe in See stechen. Doch Albert hat nicht mit den Frauen gerechnet. Sie hassen das Meer, das ihnen ihre Männer und Söhne genommen hat und immer wieder nimmt. Eine von ihnen nimmt den Kampf auf. "Da Carsten Jensen ein ungemein gewiefter Autor ist und die Kunst des dramatischen Pathos beherrscht, das dem Leser den Atem verschlägt, ist dieses Buch in all seiner Schönheit und all seinem Kitsch der Inbegriff eines Schmökers, es ist der Schmöker dieses Herbstes." Urban Halle in Deutschlandradio "Das literarische Denkmal einer kleinen Welt inmitten einer großen und grenzenlosen." Ulrich Baron in der Literaturbeilage der Süddeutschen Zeitung "Dieses Buch ist spannend und unterhaltsam. Ein Schmöker". Urban Halle in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung"
