Waves are scarier than, say, great white sharks. But I'm just not going to let fear ever stop me from doing anything in the ocean. We join the conversation, midstream:ĭAVID GRANGER: So you really like the ocean.ĭG: I remember, shortly after I met you, that I heard that you swam in a race from one Hawaiian island to another. Esquire editor in chief David Granger spoke with her, editor to editor. And many of you will recall that she has often written for this magazine. Casey is an extremist - a former world-class swimmer and competitive cyclist - and she's also the editor in chief of O, the Oprah Magazine. There are a couple themes in her writing: Her books are about the ocean and they're about things that would scare sensible humans senseless. Her first book was The Devil's Teeth, and it was about great white sharks. It's about massive ocean waves - the science behind both monsters of up to 1,700 feet that destroy supertankers and the kinds of 100-foot waves that surfers like Laird Hamilton get off on attempting to ride. The Wave (Doubleday, $28) is Susan Casey's second book.
