Any and all Mulaney Reads-ers.
“North Sun or the Voyage of the Whaleship Esther” is my July must must must read. This book is so batshit. Funny, bizarre, violent reckless, and very moving.
I haven’t read “Moby Dick” because whatever but Ethan Rutherford’s description of catching a whale or failing to catch a whale is one of the most visceral things I have ever absorbed. We are back in “Fatal Shore” or “Feast of Snakes” territory where things get brutal. But it can’t all be Michelangelo and sunsets and so forth.
This is also ANOTHER recommendation from J. Michaels Books in Eugene, Oregon making it perhaps the most successful single day haul I have had in years. I suggest you pay them a visit.
Buy “North Sun or the Voyage of the Whaleship Esther” at your local bookseller.
Very carsick on way to Saratoga,
