Karin Rosner’s Reviews > Moby-Dick > Status Update

Since I loved "Billy Budd" and "Bartelby", what was making me avoid "Moby Dick for 35 years"? I think the narrator is... er... um... rather prickish, but this book is an exciting read once you get into a 19th-century mindset and wrap your brain around unfamiliar English. This is not an easy read (or a listen, in my case). Oh, and there is something to offend every 21st-century critical reader. Non-PC this is.
