Soooooo...I was wondering; how does a character in "Moby Dick" (the new Encore version) quote the poem "Invictus"?

Time travel is the obvious answer as the book takes place 25 or so years before the poem was written.

Ahh well, they added Ahab's wife(only mentioned in passing in the book) and her father, a preacher(who quotes the poem), and make Pip a runaway slave from Alabama, so what's a little more jiggery-pokery among friends?

Does Queequeg wear sunglasses and ride a skateboard around the deck of the Pequod?

Not so far, but he DID call Ahab "dude"
