Chasing the White Whale: The Moby-Dick Marathon; or, What Melville Means Today

David Dowling

Using the twenty-five hour nonstop reading of Moby-Dick that took place on January 3, 2009 as a barometer of how Melville lives today among his most passionate and enthusiastic disciples, this examines how it has developed such an ardent following and ubiquitous presence in popular culture within our technology-obsessed, quick-fix contemporary world.
