Thank you to everyone who joined us for our reading of Moby Dick! We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did, and we hope you enjoy the conversation as well!
This is really fun folks. I “read” Moby Dick in my grade 12 lit class. I recall the atmosphere of the book and really forcing my way through and feeling that it took a long time to get to the chorus. Tbh, I was probably too young and likely skipped parts. Over twenty years later I’ve been wanting to give it a second chance. You’ve inspired me to do so!
What a fascinating video, folks. I agree that translations can be great, but not P&V, overhyped and chunky, especially their Dostoyevsky. You make me want to reread Moby Dick yet again.
