Description ▲
Taking both form and inspiration from Ishmael s abandoned "Cetalogical Dictionary," this highly original work muses on myth, representation, language, nature, consciousness, notions of spiritual quest, and other elements of Melville s masterpiece. From "Accuracy" to "Wound," "Adam" to "Void," "Babel" to "Silence," these cross-referential, highly associative entries comprise an utterly singular work of art. A Whaler s Dictionary is the mesmerizing product of a total immersion into one of the greatest novels in the English language.
