Books similar to feel of Moby Dick Anonymous 04/03/26(Fri)08:14:36 No.25185145
Do you guys have any recommendations? Ever since I finished this book I can't seem to get back into other books. The digressions, theology, ahab's speeches where just peak of fiction I ever read. Is there any book with similar depth and breadth?

Linguistically, Melville takes heavily from Milton and Shakespeare
For digressions, read Thomas Mann, Magic Mountain in particular
For depth and breadth, read Gravity's Rainbow. It feels like MD's descendant, the white whale replaced with V2/00000. Very different stylistically
Late Melville (Pierre, Confidence-Man) is also worth reading, but the books are also more experimental and difficult, though not as much as GR
