The distinguished scholars featured in this tome may disagree about the inner workings of the novel, but they can all agree that a whale is surely a fish.\u003cbr\u003e\nYou know how the old story goes. The year is 2069. Whale Oil has been outlawed by the Neo-Nantucket New Earth Government, and a new strain of hyper-infectious fish disease has wiped out all life on land. A terrorist bombing gone wrong forces young Ishmael to leave his home aboard an Arctic whaling fleet ship and embark on a perilous quest around the world. What follows is a nautical picaresque through the Anglo-American unconscious featuring slippery banana peels, a floating feed and seed outlet, a mysterious wheelchair-bound French Sufi mystic, and cannibalistic Polynesians that click into digital voodoo. Whalespasms last for 40 hours or more. And this is just the beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll this and more can be found within these pages, alongside a new introduction and full-length critical essays published here for the first time.
