Loading ...Leviathan or, The Whale by Philip Hoare
Leviathan or, The Whale is a Sebaldesque triumph, in which the author meditates on his obsession with whales. The narrative is filtered through a reading of, and a quest for, Moby-Dick, but along the way it digresses down dozens of delightful byways, from Hamlet’s observation of a cloud that is very like a whale to the role of giant squid in science-fiction writing.
