'A smart gender-flipped version of Moby Dick' Daily Telegraph
'A clever and original skewering of a classic' i News
'A brilliantly written reordering of Moby-Dick' Philip Hoare
Call Me Ishmaelle reimagines the epic battle between man and nature in Herman Melville's Moby Dick from a female perspective - perfect for fans Madeline Miller, Percival Everett and Barbara Kingsolver
In 1843, in a small village on the stormy Kent coast, Ishmaelle is born. 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
