About this product
Product Information
A fascinating tour of creatures from the surface to the deepest ocean floor: this "miraculous, transcendental book" invites us to envision wilder, grander, and more abundant possibilities for the way we live (Ed Yong, author of An Immense World ). A queer, mixed race writer working in a largely white, male field, science and conservation journalist Sabrina Imbler has always been drawn to the mystery of life in the sea, and particularly to creatures living in hostile or remote environments. Each essay in their debut collection profiles one such creature, including: -the mother octopus who starves herself while watching over her eggs, -the Chinese sturgeon whose migration route has been decimated by pollution and dams, -the bizarre, predatory Bobbitt worm (named after Lorena), -the common goldfish that flourishes in the wild, -and more. Imbler discovers that some of the most radical models of family, community, and care can be found in the sea, from gelatinous chains that are both individual organisms and colonies of clones to deep-sea crabs that have no need for the sun, nourished instead by the chemicals and heat throbbing from the core of the Earth. Exploring themes of adaptation, survival, sexuality, and care, and weaving the wonders of marine biology with stories of their own family, relationships, and coming of age, How Far the Light Reaches is a shimmering, otherworldly debut that attunes us to new visions of our world and its miracles.

Reviews
"What would happen if art, whose main purpose is to make us feel, again merged with science?...with brutal candor and elegant metaphor, How Far the Light Reaches reveals the gap between where we are today and a truly inclusive and connected world. In so doing, [the book] also threads the loophole, weaving the outlines of a future where art and science amplify one other."-- Juli Berwald , SCIENCE MAGAZINE, "Imbler shows us that the ocean, in all its mystery and dazzling glory, is queer -- that is, the life that takes shape there challenges how we landlubbers perceive ways of being."-- Aina Abell , SCIENCE NEWS, "This is a miraculous, transcendental book. Across these essays, Imbler has choreographed a dance of metaphor between the wonders of the ocean's creatures and the poignancy of human experience, each enriching the other in surprising and profound ways. To write with such grace, skill, and wisdom would be impressive enough; to have done so in their first major work is truly breathtaking. Sabrina Imbler is a generational talent, and this book is a gift to us all."-- ED YONG, New York Times Bestselling author of I Contain Multitudes, "Imbler is a science writer with a knack for pulling gut-wrenching meaning out of everything from Linnaean taxonomy to the carapace of a horseshoe crab washed up on a New York City beach. In this essay collection, they manage to balance science and emotion without leaning too heavily on anthropomorphizing...Some listeners might find more to love on either end of the metaphor -- the science or the deeply personal narrative -- but here one cannot exist without the other, and the end result reveals just as much about our fascinating, mysterious world as it does about our fascinating, mysterious selves."-- Sebastian Modak , THE NEW YORK TIMES, "Across the collection, Imbler asks us to think about how our lives mirror those of the animals around us, especially the ones who so often escape our gaze, just like the darker facets of our own personalities and histories."-- LOS ANGELES REVIEW OF BOOKS, One of VULTURE's Most Anticipated Books of Winter One of TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 Best Books of 2022 One of VANITY FAIR'S Most Anticipated Books of Winter, "In gorgeous, lyrical prose, science journalist Sabrina Imbler interweaves fascinating research on sea creatures with their own deeply personal evolution as a queer mixed-race person struggling with assimilation, gender identity, family dynamics and where they fit within a largely homogenous society."-- GOOD HOUSEKEEPING, "This is a miraculous, transcendental book. Across these essays, Imbler has choreographed a dance of metaphor between the wonders of the ocean's creatures and the poignancy of human experience, each enriching the other in surprising and profound ways. To write with such grace, skill, and wisdom would be impressive enough; to have done so in their first major work is truly breathtaking. Sabrina Imbler is a generational talent, and this book is a gift to us all."-- ED YONG, New York Times Bestselling author of An Immense World, A TIME Best Nonfiction Book of the 2022 A PEOPLE Best New Book A Barnes & Noble, WIRED , and SHELF AWARENESS Best Book of 2022 An Indie Next Pick One of Winter's Most Eagerly Anticipated Books: NEW YORK TIMES, VANITY FAIR, VULTURE, BOOKRIOT, "Imbler, a science journalist, shines a light on some of the ocean's most delightful and overlooked creatures: goldfish that flourish in the wild, an aquatic worm named after Lorena Bobbitt, octopus mothers that make sacrifices for their offspring. Along the way, the author draws connections between these fascinating animals and our own needs and desires -- for safety, family and more." -- Joumana Khatib , NEW YORK TIMES, Most Anticipated Books of December, " How Far the Light Reaches draws startling, moving connections between the lives of sea creatures and our existence on solid ground; between the vast depths of the ocean and the similarly mysterious expanse of inner experience. Working at the nexus of nature writing and memoir, Sabrina Imbler is beautifully reinventing both genres." -- ANGELA CHEN, author of Ace
