She grows up swimming with dolphins and eventually – desperate for a life at sea – she disguises herself as a cabin boy and travels to New York. As the American Civil War breaks out, Ishmaelle boards a whaling ship led by the obsessive Captain Seneca, a Black free man of heroic stature who is haunted by a tragic past. Here, she finds protectors amidst the bloody male violence of whaling and discovers a mysterious bond between herself and the mythical white whale Moby Dick…‘One of the most valuable writers in the world’ Deborah Levy‘Guo has gender-flipped this intimidating text with bravura and style… Call Me Ishmaelle takes us on a courageous journey: it’s no aping of a classic, rather a vision of a young woman sailing out to discover not a whale but her own self. And in that, it happily succeeds’ Daily Telegraph‘An astonishingly ambitious undertaking . . . you’re in the hands of a genuine storyteller’ New York Times Book Review\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46599336001615,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":482.35,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/9174\/2287\/files\/9781529929997-1.jpg?v=1788430347","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/ja\/products\/9781529929997","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
