WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, JULY 18, AND AUGUST 8 -- 7 PM
Over a century and a half after its publication, Moby-Dick still stands as an indisputable literary classic. It is the story of an eerily compelling madman pursuing an unholy war against a creature as vast and dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself. But more than just a novel of adventure, more than an encyclopedia of whaling lore and legend, Moby-Dick is a haunting, mesmerizing, and important social commentary populated with several of the most unforgettable and enduring characters in literature.
We will be working through the book in sections: for our first meeting in June, read pp 1-214 (ch. 1-43). For July, please read 215-439 (ch. 44-90). And for August, read 440-end (ch. 91-135).
