WB_S3E31 Whalefall with Daniel Kraus

WRITERS' BLOCK Author Daniel Kraus joins Meg Walker and Ron Block for a fascinating conversation about his highly anticipated new book, Whalefall, hailed by Gillian Flynn as “Astoundingly great...quite simply, a beautiful novel—a must-read story of the sea, the nature of awe, and the briny relationships between fathers and sons.” Kraus shares how the book idea came to life, his deep research and how family relationships are woven into this terrifying tale of a young man who is swallowed by a 60 ton sperm whale during a grief fueled dive following his estranged father's suicide. Their rocky relationship is examined in flashbacks as young Jay struggles to find a way out. A compelling episode that perfectly matches a compelling and hugely satisfying read.
