The Shakespeare and Company Interview
Arts:Books
How to Speak Whale is an investigation into the possibility, or otherwise, of human cetacean dialogue. It looks into the history of our relationship with these creaturesâin some important ways so similar to us, in others, so profoundly different. It lays out our various attempts to interpret their song, and looks at how big data, combined with an open source philosophy might allow us to create a âGoogle Translate for animalsâ.
Itâs also one manâs quest to make sense of the particular, transcendent but terrifying moment, a humpback whale almost landed on top of him.
