Philip Hoare, whose book on whales, Leviathan, won the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non Fiction in 2009, follows one artist, Albrecht Dürer, on his journey in search of the whale and reflects on the artist’s vision of other animals, imaginary beings and himself. A blend of art criticism, biography, history and autobiography, Hoare’s digressive yet compelling prose roams across topics from surgery on his own hand to a relic of Dürer’s hair. The Observer’s Best Art Book of 2021.
