Harvey Weinstein As Moby Dick

A new book about producer Harvey Weinstein details “with some appalled glee the food stains on Weinstein’s shirts, the thuggish threats to journalists, the thrown telephones, the impossible demands to directors, the bullying of staff. He talks of Weinstein as an ‘artist of anger’ and as ‘the 800lb gorilla in the corner’. Really, though, he is his Moby Dick, his white whale. No matter how often the journalist seems to have harpooned his target, Harvey keeps emerging from the deep, clutching a contract and a side order of fries.”
