Dr. Pisano will present this very short story by Herman Melville, discovered as a manuscript after the author’s death. It was the last thing Melville ever wrote and holds fascinating clues to his life and the seaside places he held dear. Even if you haven’t read that thick book about the whale, you will enjoy this glimpse into the mind of a great American novelist.
