About this ebook
On the heels of cult favorite Too Heavy to Become Sky, Scott Higgins delivers Whiteness of the Whale—a diary of madness and memory from the Covid fog.
“The first time I read this book I felt a low electrical pulse flow through my brain. It’s almost a living thing that reveals a different side of itself each time one picks it up—it is unsettling. Beautiful words. Beautiful brain. I love this writer.”
