Fri. 12:06 – In October 1851, the fate of Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick; or, The Whale seemed lost at sea. 10/01/2021.

It wouldn’t be until the twentieth century that Melville’s sixth book earned its now-lingering reputation as a “Great American Novel.” Is it worthy of the Ahab-esque obsession with which scholars, authors, and others have pursued its legacy? This week — or, 170 years later — Leigh Rich, P. T. Bridgeport, and Carol Andrews (Dr. C) invite you as they read and examine the opening of this novel.  Listen live on WRUU 107.5 FM in Savannah and globally @ wruu.org.
