Despite some technical audio difficulties, Talia chats to historian Eric Rauchway about two chapters that are delightfully heavy on Queequeg. We discuss the tiki craze of mid-20th century America, Melville's experiences in Tahiti, snuggling, and whether hell was really born of an undigested apple dumpling.
