Talia talks with Adam Serwer, staff writer at the Atlantic, about three of the wildest and most delightful chapters in Moby-Dick: The Lee Shore, the Advocate, and Postscript. We talk about May Day, and Melville's passionate argument for the dignity of the common laborer; whether monarchs were truly anointed with whale oil; un-alienated whaling labor; essential workers; and more. "Drive down your hat in presence of the Czar, and take it off to Queequeg!"
