"e;It will be a strange sort of a book, tho', I fear; blubber is blubber you know; tho' you may get oil out of it, the poetry runs as hard as sap from a frozen maple tree;-& to cook the thing up, one must needs throw in a little fancy.... Yet I mean to give the truth of the thing, spite of this."e;Moby-Dick has a monumental reputation. Less well known are the novel's unexpectedly weird, funny, tantalizing, messy, and wondrous moments. Narrator Ishmael, along with the whaleship Pequod's other "e;meanest mariners, and renegades and castaways"e;, is beguiled into joining Captain Ahab in his vengeful pursuit of the white whale that "e;dismasted"e; him. But along the way, Ishmael takes the reader along many a detour into variegated ways of knowing. In a tone "e;strangely compounded of fun andfury"e;, Moby-Dick brings outlandish curiosity to bear on the multitudinous, oceanic scale of our diverse world.
