669 Obsessed with Melville (with Jennifer Habel and Chris Bachelder) | My Last Book with Alexander Poots
What happens when a woman becomes obsessed with Herman Melville during the pandemic?

And what if she (a poet) and her husband (a novelist, by the way) write a book about all of it?

The Gist
A Maritime, Marital Novel
How do you co-write a novel with your spouse? Chris Bachelder and Jennifer Habel did it sentence by sentence in Dayswork. It's a new novel about one spouse's obsession with Moby Dick, and the other spouse alternating between harpooning bad ideas, serving as lookout, and blubbering. Plus, cookin' with Donna Brazile.
