ORIGINALLY WRITTEN IN 2010-2011, when the author was emerging from a series of challenging personal trials, FOREVER VOYAGING now appears for the first time in print----a unique narrative about one man's determination to understand and learn from one of America's literary masters. In 2000, Jude Joseph Lovell, a graduate student in creative writing, read the novel MOBY-DICK for the first time - and felt it change him forever. A decade later, with a loving wife, three small children, and fledgling literary dreams, he issued himself a personal challenge: he would consume Herman Melville's writings for one complete year, then write a book about the experience. FOREVER VOYAGING is the resulting "ship's log" - a startling brew of armchair criticism, literary memoir, and creative manifesto. It is a book that provides fresh perspective on Melville's largely forgotten fiction catalogue, and celebrates everyone who has ever sailed on, come what may, in the vigorous pursuit of their dreams.
