Chapters 17 & 18: "The Ramadan" and "His Mark"
Show Notes

Despite some technical audio difficulties, Talia chats to historian Eric Rauchway about two chapters that are delightfully heavy on Queequeg. We discuss the tiki craze of mid-20th century America, Melville's experiences in Tahiti, snuggling, and whether hell was really born of an undigested apple dumpling.
