The Fountain: A Review

This kind of came up in our Grey Whale series, too. What was the context? Was it arguments about how aggressive actually the Grey Whale is? Yeah, if you go by the accounts of whalers who did get to, you know, throw in their two cents and name various things about whales as well. Right. So anyway, the narrator Ishmael's claims about whales are a mixed bag of some sharp observations, some weird untruths, as well as ambiguous claims, somewhere in the middle. And I came across a number of all of the above recently in Chapter 85 of this book, which is called The Fountain.
