Philip Hoare began his career writing books about subjects like Noël Coward and Oscar Wilde. He has become a much stranger, singular thing: an obsessive chronicler of the sea, and specifically of whales. Beginning with âLeviathan or, The Whaleâ (2008), Hoare wrote three consecutive books â all personal, allusive and circuitous â about the ocean and its inhabitants.
His new book, âAlbert and the Whale,â combines his interests. Itâs a summary-defying blend of art history, biography, nature writing and memoir.
