In keeping with the Department's developing and by now almost venerable tradition of staging a public reading of one English or American literary masterpiece per year, we invite your participation and the attendance of your students in a read-through of Herman Melville's Moby Dick, or The Whale, starting at Eleven in the Morning on Thursday 5 November, and continuing if not rolling through the day and over several succeeding days, in the English Majors Student Lounge, NA 6/218.
