Between Albrecht Dürer, whales, Thomas Mann, the atom bomb, David Bowie and all the many things contained in this magnificent book, Philip Hoare gives you the feeling that everything in our world might actually be connected if we just take a close enough look at it. I would call this a work of incidental opulence; its network of purposefully aligned but seemingly random anecdotes, facts and occurrences pulls you in like the sea (literally). Beautifully crafted sentences are dropped lavishly here and there as if they were not a big deal; blink and you'll miss them. And if Hoare's writing reminds you at times of the prose of WG Sebald, then not even that would be a coincidence: Apparently, Sebald came up to him at his own book signing, asking Hoare politely if he was okay with Sebald stealing some of his ideas. I think I will get back to this and admire it for years to come.
