After the last thread where a crab attacked Moby Dick, I took some time and flipped through the book. It's great! What's the secret of how it flows so well?

It's genius and you can feel how much fun it was to write, to have everything come out unpredictability and perfect. It will inspire you to sit right down and write your own, but nothing will come unless you force it, and then it will suck.

Melville could write about anything and it’d be entertaining. He just so happened to write about whaling and it ended up being enthralling.

>Why is Moby Dick so good?
Because Ishmael is black.

Why is he black? Is that supposed to be Dagoo?

>Why is he black?
Name. Background. New York. The Church. Same bed as a Maori sailor.

In the latest edition he is Black and gay

He's not gay. Gay is a 20th century white person culture. Ishmael just lets a Maori man who he loves thrust his cock between his thighs, plunging his head over and over again into his soft scrotum until it is covered with Aotearoan jism. Nothing gay about that.
