Thanks for the article - the paralleles between Moby Dick and Jaws have always fascinated me.
Your frustration with Melville comes through loud and clear, but isn't it unfair to compare a rambling 19 century novel and a modern high-tech film? SUrely the real comparison would be between Spielberg's and Huston's films, where I believe Moby Dick more than holds its own.
