PATRICIA ANN CARLSON (ED.) - LITERATURE AND LORE OF THE SEA

A collection of academic papers. I was inspired to look into sea lore after seeing The Lighthouse and actively wondering what books were on the filmmakers’ night tables; L bought me this in response to my wondering. There’s more in here about Moby Dick than mermaids. That’s okay. The essay on mermaids is a standout. I’m thinking of getting a tattoo of a mermaid cutting her hair. Read, January 2020.
