Hello how may I help you? I need help finding the name of book I once read Tell me about it It's a story about an old man and he was whale hunting Do you know when it was written No. I'm sure the guy was Japanese Hmm. The only book I can think of that fits your description is Moby Dick it's definitely not Moby Dick. WW2 was going on and the guy saw bombs go off. he was in his boat whaling at the time I'm sorry, I can't think of another title fitting your description It was a good book. Thanks for trying Have a nice day
