One man's love letter to his favorite Great American Novel. Nathaniel Philbrick claims Melville as his inspiration and influence for "In the Heart of the Sea" and his other award-winning novels. A short book or a very long book review, in either case, highly illuminating and thought-provoking. 4 or maybe even 5 stars.
