It’s hard to decide where to start a sustainability story set in Palau. I could begin with the facts: the 340-plus island nation created the world’s first shark sanctuary in 2009, followed by a 193,000-square-mile national marine sanctuary in 2015, larger than California.

By the time I’d reached New Orleans, I was at the final stop of a three-and-a-half-month book tour across the country, and I can honestly say I needed a massage. My novel Underjungle is a story about the flitting and prowling and surge and saturation at the ocean’s depths, and our deep connection to the water. Its main characters are sea creatures, but unlike them I had feet. And an aching back. And shoulders.

An urban spa needs to massage you differently than a resort. There aren’t tropical fish swimming on the other side of the glass beneath your table. The people around you aren’t likely to smell like suntan lotion, or have that windswept, layered look of a morning on the slopes. So what the best urban spas also have to do is massage your mind. I’ve never seen a better example of this than at the Conrad Los Angeles, in the 28-story Frank Gehry building that opened summer 2022 in Downtown Los Angeles.

I spend a lot of time thinking about the water. The currents; the flitting, undulating, and tail-slapping life; the sunken ships; the sounds that can travel for 100 miles and yet seem like they originate beside you; the ocean’s persistence in the face of degradation and disappearing corals; the way it brings the creatures who live in it what they need — food, minerals, oxygen — and its mystery, power, and peace.

Delighted to share that UNDERJUNGLE has been nominated for the 2025 https://t.co/izkew7VfMa, one of 21 Italian and 8 foreign novels published in Italy btwn 2023-24 on the theme of "sea, islands and navigation," and the only American entry among them @AtlantideEd @unnamedpress https://t.co/BySub6FBgl

Please join me online on April 10 to discuss UNDERJUNGLE, which https://t.co/uxo3DkbyqZ has picked for its spring 2025 “Into the Blue” Book Club. @unnamedpress @AtlantideEd https://t.co/b57dTWTf8g https://t.co/q9GrSJxbSY

So thrilled for Ilaria Oddenino, whose Italian translation of UNDERJUNGLE is a finalist for the 2025 Premio Annibal Caro, published by @AtlantideEd Her work is graceful, poetic and precise, and the sinuousness of Italian works so well for a book set underwater. @unnamedpress https://t.co/4ebiMAqh0S
