The History of Literature669 Obsessed with Melville (with Jennifer Habel and Chris Bachelder) | My Last Book with Alexander PootsWhat happens when a woman becomes obsessed with Herman Melville during the pandemic?

In this episode, Jacke talks to the poet and her novelist husband, Jennifer Habel and Chris Bachelder, about what Melville...2025-01-1356 min
