Go With The Flow
To read Moby Dick’s clever companion novel, Ahab’s Wife by Sena Jeter Naslum, was to discover the symbolism of Moby Dick by Herman Melville given new life. The whale, the ship, the sea all appear again as do the intertwined concepts of time, passion, and the journey of self-discovery, but they are all transformed by a female perspective.
