Explications
jain: Shows a perceptive and nuanced understanding of generational abuse. Accordingly, the beginning and middle of the book can be painful (though compelling) reading, but I find the eventual happy ending extremely catharctic.

Explications
jain: Surprisingly funny, both intentionally (see: the fart joke in Chap. 1) and unintentionally (see: Melville's very earnest argument that whales are fish and not mammals). Also intensely homoerotic--always a plus for me.

jain : Definitely read the short story, but skip the novel.
aulsmith : I think the novel is very over-written compared to the original story.
