Herman Melville:
»Ich freue mich über mein Rückgrat, wie über die feste, kühne Stange der Fahne, die ich halb in die Welt hinausschleudere.«
Bertholt Brecht:
Herr Keuner: »Ich habe kein Rückgrat zum Zerschlagen. Gerade ich muß länger leben als die Gewalt.«

Literary tourism, Massachusetts edition 😱💖 at #Arrowhead #HermanMelville #Pittsfield - the guide was lovely

My second read for #20BooksOfSummer was a slight cheat. #BartlebyTheScrivener is a #ShortStory rather than a novel, but it was on my e-reader, so here we are!
It turns out that I had read it before but hadn't updated it on #LibraryThing. As soon as I started reading I remembered the story. A #reread did no harm, though. It's such a good tale.

He patted the table on which rested an imaginary pile of books : the new canon, the new literature of a reborn again America. Melville was strong drink and for the whole long twentieth century young American men had been swilling down jugs of the old sailor’s fermented juice by the gallon and now “we” (the literati) had just woken up with handovers.

Albert #Camus reckons that "as a creator, #Melville is, for example, at the furthest possible remove from #Kafka". A newly discovered manuscript casts some doubt on this thesis.

"Was it not so, O Don Miguel! thou Chilian whale, marked like an old tortoise with mystic hieroglyphics upon the back!"
I am suddenly much more interested in Don Miguel than I am Moby Dick, let's follow that whale instead

This should prove it. #HermanMelville's #MobyDick is and fits everywhere. It suits even Nintendo Switch's #AnimalCrossing with its Ahab-dreaming aviating sailors. Off the plank you go, Ahab!

@Sarah_Avery My absolute favorite is #DorothyDunnett but I have been rereading "Billy Budd" #HermanMelville because I got hooked into a "Moby Dick" Twitter debate this week. Psst. BB is better 😁

Hi everyone! I'm Justine Murison. I write on #C19studies #HealthHumanities #Privacy #Secularism and I have a new book out on Privacy in Nineteenth-Century America https://www.pennpress.org/9781512823516/faith-in-exposure/
I teach #C19studies at the University of Illinois and would prefer not to make a choice between #GeorgeEliot and #HermanMelville but I already know I will be expected to.
