The North Water (novel)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The North Water is a 2016 novel by English author and academic Ian McGuire.[1] McGuire's focus of study and field of interest is American realist literature[2] which is defined as, "...the faithful representation of reality".[3] The Guardian's reviewer writes, "The strength of The North Water lies in its well-researched detail and persuasive descriptions of the cold, violence, cruelty and the raw, bloody business of whale-killing."[4] The headline of the Independent Book Review "Ian McGuire, The North Water: 'Subtle as a harpoon in the head, but totally gripping', book review"[5] reinforces the realist aspect of the writing. The North Water was published by Henry Holt and Company (USA) and Simon & Schuster (UK)/Scribner (UK).
