reviewed on + 3 more book reviews


Having been a fan of Melville's MOBY DICK over mny years, I was fascinated by the whale. I followed up on the ESSEX as a matter of research as I am writing a play about Ishmael after his survival. The history of tghe ESSEX has proved veryh valuable for this project.
