Canio’s popular MOBY-DICK MARATHON is back & will be bigger than ever this September, as we gather at several Sag Harbor institutions.  We so look forward to sharing this magnificent book with everyone particularly at these times. No other work speaks so eloquently of themes we continue to wrestle with: social & economic injustice, moral turpitude, religious hypocrisy, environmental conservation and more.  The Marathon will take place at Canio’s Books, Eastville Community Historical Society, John Jermain Library, Old Whalers’ Church, The Church,  and the Whaling Museum. Please see the full schedule including Pre-Marathon events at caniosculturalcafe.org.
