Moby Dick Filet is our longest running and most exciting publishing experiment – We cut the famous novel about Captain Ahab’s hunt for the white whale into its 137 chapters and publish them chapter by chapter as a kind of dime novel, but not chronologically. The artist chooses a chapter to work on and the only requirement is that Herman Melville’s text appears in some form and remains legible. The chapters are published unbound – so that when the project is finished they can be bound as a multi volume book and the Great White Whale is whole again!
