Fathoms the world in the whale5/9/2023 ![]() ![]() What I want to call this as an opportunity for some sort of privileged \’ecotourism\’ from what sounds like a beach walk turned whim and an accompanied deep drive google search. It felt disrespectful and not unlike taking a selfie with a dead whale in the background (to paraphrase a scene in this book). Honestly, a great rule of thumb that I often use to be sure that I give any topic the proper respect it deserves that of making sure that I see and understand the difference between making the the whale as being the subject versus the object and in this flowing prose, the whale was used as if it were an object that the reader could use as a catalyst for her own self involved self searching for meaningfulness in the world. ![]() Speaking as someone who has several masters degrees (one in writing and documentary strategies) I did appreciate the lovely prose, but the content was that of lacking in an overall new substance and impact on the subject of whales. In all honesty I really wanted to like this book and I wish I could have ignored it\’s flaws but (for me) it was too much, and felt kind of like immature writing when it came to so many aspects not with excluding the author\’s poetic prose. ![]()
