First, read this piece, by Christopher Frizzelle, about the first fifth of Moby Dick, drunk people on airplanes, and whether or not Melville was a time-travelling (or at least preternaturally prescient) man.
Then read the comments on this post, which start out bitchy (“get a life - post something less trivial”) and then get interesting (“ok. if frizzelle’s ahab and the sign is a modern god of finance and commerce, then who’s ishmael?”).
(I vote that Ishmael is you.)
"you", as in Time's Person of the Year?
Well... It's just so frusterating nobody waers hats anymore!
It's just so frustrating! Nobody wears hats anymore.
Although it was a nice story, wasn't a little odd to run a book review about the twenty percent of a 156-year-old novel?
My friend Josh: There's always New In Books if the only books you want to read about are the new ones.
I was actually more curious about the unfinished than the old.
Not that I necessarily recommend reading all of Moby Dick.
Brendan, given that you're now narrating the events, you gets the prize.
Still need a Queequeg, though. D'you suppose Mudede would be offended if we asked him to play the part?
