Chapters 3 & 4: "The Spouter-Inn" and "The Counterpane‪"‬ Moby Dick Energy: A Moby Dick Podcast

    • Books

Talia is joined by writer Moira Donegan to discuss chapters 3 and 4 of Moby-Dick, "The Spouter-Inn" and "The Counterpane." The book is starting to get delightfully gay and we talk about it! Other topics of discussion: Ishmael and Queequeg spooning, Melville's penchant for racist metaphor, being women reading aggressively male books, and the phallic nature of harpoons.

Theme song by Noam Hassenfeld.
