Herman had often walked these streets, eyeing the forest of tall
ships, their blackened strakes handsomely curved, masts like
crosses, empty of sails . . . 1841. A young Herman Melville is yet
to write Moby Dick. He sets out on a voyage aboard a whaling ship.
What happens on that trip will give him enough material for a
lifetime of writing. But what of the dark things Melville
encounters on his journey, and the illicit relationships he embarks
upon that are to torment him once he returns home to his wife
Lizzie? All is revealed as Jay Parini lifts the lid on one of the
greatest writers of the nineteenth century . . .
