Spring 2025, CraftLit will begin wrestling with our White Whale!
This has been the most-requested book (second only to Middlemarch) since CraftLit began in 2006.
I’ve been having a ball learning all I can about Moby Dick and Herman Melville and I’ve come to the following conclusion:
I can’t learn it all.
I will, however, continue to collect as much awesome goodness for you as I possibly can with this caveat: I’m not ever going to get it all. So if you have Moby/Melville things to share, please do. You can always email me He*****@******it.com or call 1-206-350-1642 or use Speakpipe if you’re outside the US.
I can tell you this, though: I have rarely been as surprised by a book’s modernity as I have by this 1851 tome.
If you’re interested in cruising through this book in a CraftLitty kind of way, you can listen via the following venues:
- on this site, go to the Membership sign-up page (or here for more information)
- on CraftLit’s Patreon
- on CraftLit’s dedicated app. You have to sign up for the Premium feed online, then sign in from within the app (yes, it’s a clumsy process—you can thank Apple’s app rules).
Moby Dick will begin at the end of April 2025…and will be afloat until we finish the scurvy thing. 😉
