Melville’s novel Moby Dick may be the longest ghost story ever, teeming with specters of all description. Bradford’s impasto behemoth is emblematic of a wrathful Nature
determined to wreak its vengeance upon us. Bradford says of his work, “I am trying to find expression for the abiding love I have for my country even as the values that sustain it are seen by many to be evaporating.”
