Los Angeles in the '60s was a hotbed of political and social upheaval. The city was a launchpad for Black Power - where Malcolm X and Angela Davis first came to prominence and the Watts uprising shook the nation. The city was home to the Chicano Blowouts and Chicano Moratorium, as well as being the birthplace of “Asian American” as a political identity. It was a locus of the antiwar movement, gay liberation movement, and women’s movement, and, of course, the capital of California counterculture.

"I saw the whale ahead of us, coming with twice his ordinary speed, and with tenfold fury and vengeance in his aspect. The surf flew in all directions about him and his course toward us was marked by a white foam which he made with continual violent thrashing of his tail; his head was about half out of water and in that way he came upon and again struck the ship." An angry whale rams and destroys a whale ship in 1820.

Great reader, Unforgettable Tale
Revisado: 04-17-15
What made the experience of listening to Narrative of the Most Extraordinary and Distressing Shipwreck of the Whaleship Essex the most enjoyable?
I cannot imagine a better reader than Mr. Stojka. His understated but thoughtful performance was pitch-perfect.
What other book might you compare Narrative of the Most Extraordinary and Distressing Shipwreck of the Whaleship Essex to and why?
If you are reading or have read Moby-Dick, then you must read the source material, which is this.
What about Andre Stojka’s performance did you like?
Wonderful voice, interesting and tasteful emphases.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The real Moby-Dick!
Any additional comments?
Hoping to enjoy more of Mr. Stojka's subtle work in the future.
