Margret Grebowicz is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland. She is author of Rescue Me: On Dogs and Their Humans (2022), Mountains and Desire: Climbing vs. the End of the World (2021), and Whale Song (Bloomsbury, 2017) in the Object Lessons series.
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. The sapiens of the sea, whales are the other most intelligent, social, and loquacious animals on Earth. So why do they seem to swim away, the more we chase after them in our efforts to communicate and connect? How does the meaning of their mesmerizing songs continue to elude us? Focused on the history of cetacean communication experiments, Margret Grebowicz's Whale Song is a speculative, playful meditation on serious environmental and social loss. Pondering the problems facing ocean ecosystems as well as the challenges to social life, intimacy, and connection in the digital age, Whale Song explores the collectivities of whales, humans, and whales and humans together. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
