“In the Heart of the Read: Disasters, Fish Stories, Outer Space, and the Manipulation of Truth.” Dr. Jon Hershey discusses how Herman Melville turned truth into great literature, and he wasn’t the only one. This presentation—part of The Big Read’s 2020 book, In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick—takes a look at some of the ways true stories have become fantastic fiction.
