No one wants to read Moby Dick, English professor Eric Wilson claims, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t read it. In fact, according to him, everyone should.
On Oct. 26 in the Porter Bryum Welcome Center, students and members of the community gathered to learn more about the staple of a novel as part of the Lifelong Learning Fall Lecture series, a collaboration between the university and the Arts Council of Winston-Salem.
Throughout the lecture, the professor of english and author discussed the life of Herman Melville, author of Moby Dick, and the larger significance the novel has beyond printed pages.
