Bonus Moby-Dick episode: Interview with Richard King, author of "Ahab's Rolling Sea"
Big Book Club's "What the Whale!"09/15/19 • 28 min
As a special post-Moby-Dick bonus, Jennie and Megan previewed the new book, "Ahab's Rolling Sea: A Natural History of Moby-Dick," and interviewed author Richard King by phone from his home in Mystic, Connecticut.
Rich's book does a great job of putting Moby-Dick in context, with lots of maps and photos. And for anyone who might fear that King's style would take after his subject matter, the writing is is compelling and accessible, and we suspect that it may become required reading for anyone tackling Moby-Dick in the future...
Rich mentions the website "Melville's Marginalia" during the podcast.
Palate cleansers:
- Rich - "Fortunate Son" by Walter Mosley
- Jennie - Gavin & Stacey - British tv show, watching on Hulu
- Megan - "Three Women" by Lisa Tadeo
