My problem with The Whale has always been the circuitous way Ishmael narrates this story, and Melville's extravagant, convoluted prose. It is amongst the most dense, ornate prose I have encountered in a novel.
And, while it is sometimes beautiful, it seems to intentionally distract from and distort the actual metaphysical gravity of the core narrative. Which is interesting, but tough to slog through.

3rd time I have attempted to read this novel. Finally made i past the 1st 150 pages. Intentionally a difficult book to get into. Challenging reading.
