Susan Casey is the New York Times bestselling author who travels to the edges of the earth and the depths of its oceans, to explore new realms. In Voices in the Ocean: A Journey Into the Wild and Haunting World of Dolphins, she turns her storyteller’s art to dolphins—playful mammals that can count, deduce, throw tantrums, call each other by name, and rescue themselves and humans, too. USA Today calls the book “painstakingly researched and gorgeously written.”

Casey is our tour guide to all things fantastic and mysterious in the inner space of our oceans. She explores the shining moments of our relationship with dolphins, but also delves into the shadows where they are violently captured, slaughtered or sold.

Casey begins with a pod of spinner dolphins that surround Casey while she is swimming near Hawaii. She then dives into the complicated kinship humans feel for the mischievous and intelligent animals. She explores the career of controversial dolphin researcher John Lilly and the Hawaiian community that believes dolphins are key to spiritual transformation.

Casey’s previous book, The Wave, reports on rogue waves and the people who love them. In The Devil’s Teeth, she writes a lively portrait of the scientists who mix it up with great white sharks on a Northern California island.

An avid swimmer and diver, Casey is the former editor-in-chief of O — The OprahMagazine and a National Magazine Award winner whose work has been published in Esquire, Outside and National Geographic.

Don’t miss this conversation on the enlightened nature of dolphins and what they have to teach us.
