Loomings: Live to Tell the Tale, a Marathon Reading of MOBY DICK

Here’s the thing about Herman Melville’s Moby Dick…

Is it a Love Story? a Survivor’s Tell-all? Or a first-hand account of the History of Whaling? As a Modernist, I’m here to tell you—I don’t know!  so please join us so we can take this trip together and find out!

On Saturday, 11/29, from 9AM-7PM (ish); and On Sunday, 11/30, from 9AM til whenever, We set sail on our 3rd Marathon Reading just as we embark on the 3rd year of our existence!

But it’s all hands on deck! (and I need your help) Dip in, dip out, dip back in; come to listen or to read, but, if you’re able to:

PLEASE sign up to read for 15-minute time slots!

First Watch starts at 9AM, but we’ll go through til 7-ish the first day and from 9AM til whenever on the second day. All gratitude and hail fellow well met to those who’ve already signed up, (you are the absolute best), but WE COULD USE A FEW MORE READERS! If you live locally, or are visiting for the weekend, or if you have guests, PLEASE, bring them! Or drop on by to read for a bit, share in the experience, and live to tell the tale!

This is a collective, community event! AKA, a peak experience you will not forget.

Sail on, Read on, and Hold on, world, hold on,
