In this episode, we discuss Herman Melville’s seminal work, Moby Dick. It’s the story of an unlikely love affair between Ishmael, a young, naive New Yorker, and Queequeg, a swarthy islander with an impressive harpoon. Oh, there’s also a whale and a captain with a grudge. But really, we’re just here for Ishmael and Queequeg. We also take a look at Melville’s relationship with author Nathaniel Hawthorne. Enjoy!
