SUMMARY:Hester Blum on Moby-Dick
DESCRIPTION:Moby-Dick has a monumental reputation. Less well known are the novel’s unexpectedly weird\, funny\, tantalizing\, messy\, and wondrous moments. Hester Blum\, leading Melville scholar and editor of the new Oxford World’s Classic edition of Moby-Dick\, discusses these moments and her additions and annotations of Melville’s best-known novel. Themes will include the novel’s elasticity and continued relevance for twenty-first-century readers\, with attention to its queerness and its meditations on race\, power\, and disability.  FREE \nThis event is sponsored by MountainOne Insurance.
