Beautiful and deeply moving reinterpretation of one of America's most famous novel from the point of view of the whale. "Whitewave", as he is known among his people is part of an ancient matriarchal culture increasingly threatened by the whale trade. As Whitewave sees his family and his people's traditions gradually destroyed, his anger and bitterness prepare prefigure the implacable enemy of the Pequod.

Reminded me of Bambi in the way it gives voice to animals hunted by humans, and in its aching affinity for the natural world. Hard to find, but worth it.
