Definitely something everyone should read. Took me 4 months though 🫡. The gay subtext really sold me aswell as the corruption of ahab as he descends into madness! Also despite the use of slurs this book actively pushed against racist rhetoric.
Graphic: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Racial slurs, Xenophobia
Minor: Suicidal thoughts
