Thar She Blows
Today is the 161st anniversary of "Moby Dick."
As The Christian Science Monitor article at the link shows, the book didn't gain its high status until many years after publication; a sad development since it robbed Herman Melville of the acclaim he richly deserved to see in his lifetime.

The best American novel ever? I rate it above the other popular claim "Huckleberry Finn."
Dan,
I agree.
