- pocpoczoc 8y agoThis massive diatribe is symbolic of Melville's inability to stick to the fucking point.
- stcredzero 8y agoDon't worry, your diatribe isn't that massive. Actually, I thought Melville's point was to digress. Wasn't the point to digress into all these side details out of the joy of describing the whaling world? (So I have read in commentaries.)
