Lobster Dreams
is a wonderfully original and unexpectedly profound novel, written with both scientific authority and literary flair by esteemed oceanographer Stephen Spotte. At its heart is Sonny, a young man who undergoes a surreal metamorphosis into a lobster-a transformation that becomes the gateway to an immersive deep-sea world. The novel is rich with fascinating detail about lobster biology and behavior, from larvahood and molting to eating, mating, and fighting, all presented with humor and insight.
is a smart, funny, and esoteric meditation on identity, transformation, and what it means to be human-or lobster!
