"Stark tone shift in the book. Was previously very conversational and somewhat silly. Now that they’ve boarded the ship, there seems to be an interlude of thought with lofty and grandiose musings of democracy, what makes a man, etc. Wondering if this tone will be used to distinguish Melville’s voice from Ishmael’s? I miss Queequeg." — Jun 12, 2026 03:56AM
