Beyond the parade of headlines, writing about whales-history, science, and literary work-often sits within disciplinary silos. Touching This Leviathan starts a conversation among them. Drawing on biology, theology, local history, literary criticism, environmental studies, and composition theory, author Peter Wayne Moe offers a deep dive into the alluring and impalpable mysteries of Earth's largest mammal. Entertaining, thought-provoking, and swimming with intelligence and wit, Touching This Leviathan is creative nonfiction that gestures toward science and literary criticism as it invites readers into the belly of the whale"-- |
