“Mark Beauregard’s exhilarating, beautifully realized novel The Whale provides a detailed, passionate, and thoughtful evocation of Hawthorne and Melville's love for one another, including a sexual dimension…” —Leviathan: A Journal of Melville Studies
"Beauregard has captured the true hide and grit of that God- and nature-haunted 19th-century mind in all its rough, baroque, oddly tender poetry.” —The Washington Post
“Vivid and beautifully written, smart, and achingly sensual, this novel is at once a passionate love story and a gripping portrait of an artist wrestling with himself on the cusp of his greatest achievement.” —Madeline Miller, author of The Song of Achilles
