Audible Editor Reviews

No, this isn't some tenured professor who loves the sound of his own voice using obscure terminology to show how smart he is. And it's not a last-minute cram guide for American Lit 101. This Peabody Award-winning episode of Studio 360 takes literary analysis to a whole new level. Listen and you'll know why the Peabody Board praised the program for "illuminating and revitalizing a masterpiece with energy, humor, imagination, and verve".

Studio 360 creates a literary salon of the ear with science fiction icon Ray Bradbury; Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner; multimedia performer Laurie Anderson; artist Frank Stella; and others revealing their personal relationship with Herman Melville's masterwork. This wonderfully-produced audio experience includes excerpts spoken in the dulcet tones of actor Edward Hermann. And don't miss a surfer dude's incisive, two-minute summary of the novel.

Hard to imagine that Melville foresaw a day when a ubiquitous coffee-shop chain would be named for one of his characters!

Publisher's Summary

This week in Studio 360, we set sail in search of the White Whale. Herman Melville's Moby Dick survived his battle with Captain Ahab only to surface in the works of contemporary filmmakers, painters, playwrights, and musicians. Kurt Anderson explores the influence of this American icon, with the help of Ray Bradbury, Laurie Anderson, Tony Kushner, and Frank Stella, among others. (Broadcast Date: December 4, 2004)

Then, choose from different versions of Moby Dick.
