5.0 out of 5 stars
Fine edition at a super price,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Billy Budd and The Piazza Tales (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (Paperback)
This is a superb edition at an exceptionally affordable price. O'Meally's insightful Introduction brings Melville to life for 21st-century readers. By relating Melville's prose to jazz (one of O'Meally's special fields), the Introduction gives a sense of the complex "riffs" running through the prose.This edition will probably displace the Penguin edition in many college courses.
