Book Reviews of Whalestoe Letters
Book Review: Don't waste your money...
Summary: 2 Stars
Really, if you love "House of Leaves", then buy the collection with the entire HoL's and all other companion pieces. It is better than wasting your money on this stand-alone book, and anyway, these letters are cool for character insight and whatnot, but do not add a whole ton to the original book that you need to know.
Summary of Whalestoe Letters
Between 1982 and 1989, Pelafina H. Li?vre sent her son, Johnny Truant, a series of letters from The Three Attic Whalestoe Institute, a psychiatric facility in Ohio where she spent the final years of her life. Beautiful, heartfelt, and tragic, this correspondence reveals the powerful and deeply moving relationship between a brilliant though mentally ill mother and the precocious, gifted young son she never ceases to love.Originally contained within the monumental House of Leaves, this collection stands alone as a stunning portrait of mother and child. It is presented here along with a foreword by Walden D. Wyhrta and eleven previously unavailable letters.
