'I have written a blasphemous book', said Melville when his novel was first published in 1851, 'and I feel as spotless as the lamb'. Deeply subversive, in almost every way imaginable, Moby-Dick is a virtual, alternative bible - and as such, ripe for reinterpretation in this new world of new media. Out of Dominion was born its bastard child - or perhaps its immaculate conception - the Moby-Dick Big Read: an online version of Melville's magisterial tome: each of its 135 chapters read out aloud, by a mixture of the celebrated and the unknown, to be broadcast online, one new chapter each day, in a sequence of 135 downloads, publicly and freely accessible.
Starting 16 September 2012!

The true skill of a narrator is not to impose a personal voice upon the reader, Tilda does this with ease. It is as if text levitates from the page and enters consciousness with no intermediary. I mean this as a heart-felt compliment.

Love that opening paragraph. "Whenever it s a damp, drizzly November in my soul..." A bit disappointing we're skipping Etymology and Extracts, but what a great idea!

Tilda Swinton is an excellent reader. Her talent for pacing, rhythm, and emphasis--incuding knowing when to pause-- is superb.
