Overview

Moby Dick (1851) is an epic tale of the conflict between man and his fate. Captain Ahab's obsessive quest to destroy the great white whale that tore off his leg leads the Pequod and its crew to disaster. Melville's extraordinary narrative defies classification: it teems with ideas and imagery and the passion of its author. Patrick McGrath was born in London and moved to New York in 1981, where he now lives. He is the author of a story collection, Blood and Water and Other Tales (1988) and four acclaimed novels: The Grotesque (1989), Spider (1990), Dr Haggard's Disease (1993), and Asylum (1996)
