Notes
- ^ Unlike Dracula, Moby Dick is not espistolary and has few specific dates mentioned. However, the creator of the substack has created an approximate calendar for the book based on estimated travel times and clues to specific dates in the book, and is releasing chapters based on that calendar. See the FAQ for details.
