Where's my hyphen, Ron Howard? Prepping for our next Melville at the Movies. Those come out on our Patreon by the way, and you can hear our one on Moby Dick (1956)—also sans hyphen—if you join at the Stubb, Starbuck, or Ahab tiers. #melville #movies #bookstagram #mobydick #cannibalism

Scene from In the Heart of the Sea.

"A year later Moby Dick was published."

“This moss was gathered in Salem, and therefore I place it here for a frontispiece. P.S. It may be objected that this is sea-moss; —but then, it only went to sea—like many young mortals—in its youth, and to my certain knowledge has been ashore ever since."
