In The Last Whaler, Reeves gives the story of a beluga whaler and his botanist wife, who are stranded at his remote whaling station on Svalbard during the dark season of 1937-38 and must battle predators, the elements, an unplanned pregnancy, and their own limitations in order to survive. The Last Whaler considers the impact of humans on pristine environments, the isolation of mental illness, and the solace of storytelling.

A writer and poet for almost thirty years, Cynthia Reeves was honored with Miami University Press's novella prize, and residencies at Hawthornden Castle, Vermont Studio Center, Galleri Svalbard, and the 2017 Arctic Circle Summer Solstice Expedition. She is the author of Badlands (2007) and Falling Through the New World (2024), and her work has appeared in numerous literary journals.
