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.
