reading whitejacket and he is SO proto-Ishmael it’s kinda scary but he lacks that certain earnestness that makes Ishmael such an amazingly compelling narrator imo. like he is not nearly as desperate to tell this story as Ishmael is to tell his, you know?
#ishmael’s way of narrating sometimes feels like he’s grabbing you by the shoulders tears in his eyes begging you to remember these men-#-and think about their stories#also in whitejacket the ship is a city and not a whale which is okay. i get it.
