Her descriptions are often startling and compelling. Giggs is, in fairness, a beautiful writer. Ultimately, the book is unified less by narrative or argumentative structure than by Giggs’ densely poetic style and flights of allusion and imagination.
“Fathoms” flits between genres, mixing science writing, cultural criticism, and personal essay without apparent pattern. This is a significant ethical and environmental project, and a worthy one. BOOK REVIEW - “Fathoms: The World in the Whale” by Rebecca Giggs (Scribe, 368 pages).
