(At the dinner table at Meadow's apartment)Finn: Did you like Billy Budd?A.J.: It was OK. My teacher says it's a gay book.Carmela: Oh, that is ridiculous! I’m sorry, but Billy Budd is not a homosexual book.Meadow: Actually, it is, Mother.Carmela: I saw the movie, Meadow, with Terence Stamp.Colin (Meadow’s roommate): Terence Stamp was in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.Carmela: I don't know about that. But Billy Budd is the story of an innocent sailor being picked on by an evil boss—Meadow: —who’s picking on him out of self-loathing caused by homosexual feelings in a military context.Carmela: Oh, please!

Alex: Actually, Mrs. Soprano, there is a passage in the book where Melville compares Billy to a nude statue of Adam before the fall.A.J.: Really?Tony: I thought you read it.Carmela: So it's a Biblical reference . Does that make it gay?

Tony: Must be a gay book. Billy Budd is the ship’s florist, right? (Laughter)Meadow: Leslie Fiedler has written extensively on gay themes in literature since the early ‘60s—Billy Budd in particular.Carmela: Well, she doesn't know what she's talking about.Meadow: She's a he, Mother, and he’s lectured at Columbia as a matter of fact.Carmela: Well, maybe he's gay, you ever thought of that?

One of the world's leading painters and printmakers, the artist Frank Stella spent over a decade creating a major series of works linked with Herman Melville's classic novel Moby-Dick. Stella has created one or more works for each of the novel's 135 chapters. The completed series consists of 266 pieces: large metal reliefs, prints, monumental sculptures, a mural, and other items. The entire series is a highly ambitious, subtle, and liberating response to the novel. Frank Stella's Moby-Dick series is an extraordinary venture on a massive scale by a major artist.

Robert K. Wallace, an expert on Melville, has written a clear and comprehensive interpretation of Stella's artistic evolution during the creation of this series. Frank Stella's

Moby-Dick describes the development of the series, traces its distribution and reception around the world, analyzes its rich and complex relation to the novel, and addresses the joint value of Stella's series and Melville's novel in expanding the consciousness of a shrinking world in the late twentieth century.
