Canio’s much-loved MOBY-DICK MARATHON is coming soon! We love sharing this magnificent book with you, one that speaks so eloquently of themes we continue to wrestle with: obsession and revenge; social & economic injustice; moral turpitude; religious hypocrisy; environmental conservation, and more.
Be a reader! Sponsor a chapter! Be a part of this great community event.
We welcome new locations including Christ Episcopl Church, Breakwater Yacht Club, and the Masonic Temple as we move the literary feast through the village.
Join us for several public events that shed light on Melville’s vast genius; on Moby-Dick, the book, and on related topics. West Point professor Gerard McGowan, a Melville scholar, will speak on Moby-Dick’s relevance for our time Thursday, May 29. Catch a film screening, attend a Moby-related workshop, and more.
