John Bryant of Hofstra University and Haskell Springer, professor emeritus of English at the University of Kansas have edited a new edition of "Moby Dick." Bryant is the one interviewed. He talks about how they divided the task and about the concept of "fluid text." There are more than one version of "Moby Dick" and this edition includes the text of both the American and English versions intermingled. There are also lots of notes or "revision narrative comments." All in all, their work makes "Moby Dick" very appealing.
