have you ever seen a whale,
with a harpoon-filled tail,
down by the bay?

i should hope not, because that would be a terrible way to try to capture the noblest fish in the ocean, especially when moby dick provides such a clear, step-by-step guide to the art of whaling, suitable for novice and expert alike.

full of humor (counterintuitively dry in nature, considering the maritime setting), wonder, and infectious enthusiasm for cetaceans.

many complaints here about "not enough plot," well, who wants plot? as for me, i want whales.
