Powell’s bookstore has chosen The Whale: A Love Story by Mark Beauregard as one of the Best of 2016: Fiction.
Editor & writer Leah Angstman talks 2016’s best books, from lesson-packed histfic to terrifying slowpocalyptic hellscapes.
"I could not get enough of this book. A well-researched novel that explores the relationship between Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville, and how intense it really was between them. I never thought I’d be saying, “I swear to bejeezus if Hawthorne and Melville don’t kiss, I’ll …” but, well, it’s that intense. Totally funny and uppity with the elitist humor of the time, and full of laugh-out-loud literary jokes and wry wit, this book is just an all-around joy. I went from chuckling to crying in a matter of paragraphs. Very recommended for the (open-minded!) highbrow literary lover in your life."
Editor and writer Leah Angstman picked The Whale: A Love Story as one of the best books of 2016!

The holiday season is upon us, which means it's time to start crossing names off of your gift list. If you want to let your partner know you understand how much they love reading, then there are plenty of books to give your partner this holiday season.
For the romantic
“To shelve between their copy of Moby Dick and The House of the Seven Gables, gift your partner with this fictional account of the possibly real-life love between Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne. In his debut novel, Mark Beauregard uses real letters between the two authors, as well as in-depth research, to recreate the summer of 1850 with historical accuracy, but adds in his own bits of fiction in the form of a forbidden romance. A fun and unique read, this is a great gift for your partner who likes a side of romance with his or her reading.”

“ now more than ever I want to read Moby-Dick and Hawthorne’s major novels that he wrote before, during, and after this brief period of their lives. It’s magical, and sometimes historical context means everything.”
Fairy Book Mother reviews The Whale: A Love Story by Mark Beauregard
I voted!
Mark Beauregard, author of The Whale: A Love Story
Melville’s letter, in its entirety, forms the conclusion of The Whale, a novel based on the brief, intense relationship between the first truly great writers of fiction in America.
"Beauregard's skill as a novelist is such that he describes the intellectual, emotional, and physical attraction between two 19th-century men in a way that is both moving and convincing. THE WHALE demonstrates that sometimes the only way to reach the truth of the human heart, as when voices from the past have been silenced or lost, is through the storyteller's imagination."
“Moby Dick had not arrived as the Great American Novel until after the death of its author (Mr. Herman Melville) who, after meeting him at a picnic in the summer of 1850, had dedicated it to Nathaniel Hawthorne (The Scarlet Letter). Enter: Beauregard! Using the original title of the 1851 classic, he tells the fictional, but thoroughly researched, story of that fateful afternoon, where two literary geniuses met in the Berkshires and a lifelong endearment ensued. This is the emotionally-charged impetus behind a literary classic that, without this meeting, would have likely never been finished. (Ellen)”
