Moby Monday – Dickmas Comes but Once a Year

Margaret Guroff — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 06:30:01 PDT

You may think you don’t know anyone who needs a Moby Dick hat. But have you seen this Moby Dick hat? Hand crocheted by a teen crafter who sells her wares under the name WhatsEatinYou, the cap comes pre-harpooned for the wearer’s safety and convenience. I found it on Etsy.com, the online handcrafts superstore, a [...]

FotoFriday: Fred LeBlanc’s Windjammers Downeast

Peter A. Mello — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 06:04:44 PDT

So next time you are heading over to someone’s house for a summer dinner, you might want to skip the predictable bottle of wine and cut flowers and present them a copy of Windjammers Downeast; especially if they’re sailors or just love the sea. It’s about the same price and it’ll bring enjoyment much, much longer.

It seems that California always has the best real life officer chase scenes. Who can forget this classic set to a song by one Sea-Fever’s favorite bands, A Flock of Seagulls?

Moby-Monday: A big honking book in tiny poems

Margaret Guroff — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 06:30:11 PDT

You might think nothing could be more antithetical to Herman Melville’s sprawling Moby-Dick than haiku, the compressed Japanese form that was the salvation of every “write a poem” assignment in school: five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables, and time for lunch. But where there’s an idea, there’s a haiku about it on the Internet. In the [...]

Moby-Monday: Read Moby-Dick, or the Whale Gets It

Margaret Guroff — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 06:30:38 PDT

Among Moby-Dick’s kabillions of pages of literary fallout, some of the most charming and passionate are essays by fans trying to convince other people to read the book. Saved from obscurity in the 1920s by a surge of belated good press, Herman Melville’s dense, challenging 1851 novel continues to turn readers into evangelists on its [...]
