Review Quotes: "No other writer on Melville has written so candidly and fully and convincingly on the centrality of male bonding and same-sex love in Melville's work. Robert Martin is the only critic to trace the theme with such thoroughness. Moreover, he handles the subject with the subtlety it requires." -- James E. Miller, Jr., University of Chicago
