They are the largest creatures who have ever lived! Their intellects, superior to our own, are so totally alien, it renders them forever incomprehensible to us. These beings are the great whales of our planet’s oceans. There’s not time to unravel the mysteries of their existence, for within the lifetime of our children, these wonders will become extinct thanks to our having hunted them into oblivion. In the short time left in which we share this planet, it therefore becomes the task of the novelist to explore whale lives and their wet geographies. Gordon Glass’s Latest novel, There Were Giants, does just this. Opening with these strange words “It was the last one. It was the last one...”, being repeatedly muttered via radio from the Japanese whaling fleet’s flagship, the tone is set for wonder and discovery. Further, there is this mysterious, living stream; scores of whales are congregating and encircling the silent, unmoving whaling ship. And lastly, there is the awful sense of guilt and loss which overwhelmed the crew of the “Whalesaver,” the Greenpeace-like anti-whaling vessel trailing the strangely becalmed whaling ship ahead of them. Then this weird mood-visitation lifted as mysteriously and as suddenly as it had arrived. Temporarily leaving these mysteries to be resolved later, the novel plunges into the lives of at least four major characters, one of which is Circleback, the last blue whale in the world. The lives of these characters become inextricably intertwined, knitting into a wonderful weave of loves and rivalries; defeats and victories. This plus-size epic, alternating between human and whale characters, forms the grandest sea-saga since Moby Dick.
There Were Giants Gordon Glass
A fascinating and intriguing narrative. Three simultaneous bildungsromans, whose narrative threads interweave and merge as the story moves on, are accompanied by a good introduction to cetology along the way. Although rather long, interest is maintained by the always-present "what happens next?" factor. (I always had to read a few pages more than I planned.) It presents some interesting and profound ecological and philosophical issues along the way, at times quite thought provoking. A very good read for anyone interested in humanity's place in our planet's ecology.Product details
