Captain Ahab
This prequel to “Moby Dick,” that Herman Melville never wrote, is completely in tune with the playful spirit of the original novel. Five different narrators explore five different parts of Captain Ahab's life leading up to Starbuck's recollection of the adult Ahab's fatal obsession with the white whale.
