“A task of unbelievable magnitude, to read every word of this thickly worded and slowly spun story of an extinct profession and puzzling allegory. I am thoroughly enjoying Mr. Kistner’s performance. The story has always hung just above my reach but the experience of this read is fulfilling in an old-fashion way. Peck and Wells seem like plastic puppets, although Stewart was a more authentic Ahab, at least in my opinion. But this is the real thing, without the indoor sets trying to be made to look like decks at sea by employing hands just off camera to toss buckets of water toward the actors while they deliver overly intense and unbelievable lines. Fix the sort order of the chapters and we have a gem that I will revisit and recommend!”
