> Moby Dick

Come on... do you really like that unashamed imitation of Gravity's 
Rainbow? Ahab is obviously a simplified version of Blicero, Ishmael 
is a poor man's Tyrone, and the attempt to put the whole Zone on an 
US whaler is simply pathetic. While I'll admit that transforming the 
Rocket into the Whale might be an interesting attempt, weren't this 
Melville guy so ignorant about the most recent developments of 
biology... even Cuvier and Lynneus are too advanced for him. He 
totally ignores Darwin, who's he, some freak fundamentalist?

The best thing is the gay subplot, though I can't understand who's 
fucking who on the Pequod... at least those two hard-core novelettes 
he wrote were more graphic, I mean, it's obvious that Jemmy Legs 
would like to screw Billy Budd, and that Benny Cereno was in love 
with Al Aranda.

All in all, I'd like to read something P-related or even P-derived, 
but this bestselling imitation of GR is a bit too lowbrow to me.
