One day, while out fishing as usual, he dozes off...and when he wakes up, he finds himself far away from shore. He must now make his way back to land in his canoe, battling the elements, hunger and thirst, a man-eating hammerhead shark, and his own troubled memories.Meanwhile, back on land, his family and neighbors have varying reactions to his disappearance. As he travels on the sea, Zachariah reflects on his relationships with each of them, and on how he will relate to them when he finally returns.The Painted Canoe was Winkler's first novel, and is stated to be his favorite. | |

Bigger Is Better in Bed: Zachariah is...rather well-equipped, as Carina discovers during her seduction of him in one of his flashbacks. | |

Big Bad: The doctor, yet again. He is the most directly antagonistic force in the story, and not just to Zachariah, but to other villagers as well. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| The Painted Canoe / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Carina is this toward her older son George. The narrative informs us that this is because he was born too soon after the death of Carina and Zachariah's first child. Zachariah's mother was this way toward him as well, from what we see of his flashbacks to his childhood. | |

| The Painted Canoe / int_e52a0409 | comment |
Calling The Old Woman Out: Zachariah recalls that he wanted to do this to his mother for all her abuse of him in his childhood, but he refrained from doing this because she was sickly and (though he didn't know it then) in her last moments. | |
