“Chowder” is Chapter fifteen from one of the greatest works of American literature, Herman Melville’s
Moby Dick. It is so beautifully written, so descriptive and colorful, one can virtually smell the fishy, salt air, picture the warm interior of the Try Pots Inn, and taste the mouthwatering chowders.This short work is part of Applewood’s “American Roots,” series, tactile mementos of American passions by some of America’s most famous writers.
