Klassisk bok om en sjökapten som drabbas av en stor vit val och mister sitt normala liv av sorg och vrede och blir besatt av att jaga och döda valen. spännande dramatisk och överraskande bok som låter typisk manlig men som med all säkerhet kan avnjutas som ett alternativ till en deckare av kvinnor. En sträckläsare och bladvändare man inte skastressa igenom utan njuta av under flera tillfällen för att inte missa njutningen av ord språk och poesin.
