>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 29 00:06:44 2020 No.15728426 >>15728388 I think the prose is the best part. The way Melville describes being at sea, and lines like everyone having their own insular Tahiti are beautiful.

Only a few epics written by straight white Christian men. That's all.
Minorities, juden, gays and women are left in the dust of literary history.
