Wytham Whales

Literatuur & Romans Feelgood

'It reminds me of Brexit, which had the same morbid impact, which ¿had redefined the land as well. Not by rising water levels, like it is ¿doing now, but by imposing distinct coastal borders. The idea of ¿being trapped and isolated by unforgiving frontiers evokes new ethics ¿and politics. We become survivors, landwrecked survivors. ¿Indigenous castaways, if you like.' A post-Brexit novel about seven ¿researchers being stuck on Wytham Hill (Oxford, UK) due to serious ¿flooding. Feeds of a beaching whale trigger ambitions, but collide ¿with acute environmental issues. Facts lose their weightiness and ¿truths become fragile. This twisted Moby Dick story is seasoned with ¿a pinch of love and an inconvenient hint of Brexit.¿
