It’s Moby Dick from the whale’s point of view.
Melville’s title character beaches himself on the New England coast, hoping to come clean about his life before he dies. A writer walking along the shore becomes his scribe. The white whale spins a tale filled with adventure and rich emotion, where Ocean herself is a major character. Haunting the story is Ahab, obsessed with the “monster” who took his leg. Ahab, who will learn soon enough that his obsession is not one-sided.
Through the white whale’s confessions, we discover he is not who we thought he was. “Call me … anything,” he says. “But do not call me Moby Dick.”
