Book summaryThe title novella is about a young sailor on a 19th-century whaling ship captained by an Ahab-like madman. The volume also includes "The Midnight Reader," consisting of five related stories, and three "Tales of Queen Louisa," set in medieval times. Media reviews"In my own judgment, Gardner is in many places too cunning for his own good....But elsewhere the undeniable power of his imagination transcends the question of his method altogether. Collages or not, bamboozling or not, his ventriloqual fictions do suddenly grow nerves and breathe with an awesome, independent life." |
