The FAILING New York Times recently asked their columnists to select “the one piece of culture that, to them, best explains America." The majority of responses are what you'd expect. (Ted fucking Lasso?) Personally, I'm a Melville's The Confidence-Man man, but I'm curious to hear your response.
I mean, it's probably that James O'Keefe video I just referenced. But seriously, folks...it's got to be "Self-Reliance." Pretty much everything good and bad flows out of this, including unembarrassed citations of TV ephemera from would-be literati and other cultural elites:
Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world. I remember an answer which when quite young I was prompted to make to a valued adviser, who was wont to importune me with the dear old doctrines of the church. On my saying, What have I to do with the sacredness of traditions, if I live wholly from within? my friend suggested,—“But these impulses may be from below, not from above.” I replied, “They do not seem to me to be such; but if I am the Devil's child, I will live then from the Devil.” No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that or this; the only right is what is after my constitution, the only wrong what is against it.
I didn't love The Confidence-Man, found it claustrophobic and cynical, the kind of angry old man cynicism that's kin to sentimentality, as you also find in Twain or Vonnegut, whom I also don't love. I prefer Melville when he's sublime or when he's perverse or when he's elegiac. If I were going to pick a novel, it might be The Scarlet Letter, which contains most of the national character except the race stuff, and explains the entirety of the cultural logic—even re: the race stuff—by which Emerson's antinomianism doesn't spin off into total madness. Just for fun, here's the opening paragraph, in the same vein, of Harold Bloom's Introduction to his Modern Critical Views volume on Pynchon:
We all carry about us our personal catalog of the experiences that matters most—our own versions of what they used to call the Sublime. So far as aesthetic experience in twentieth-century America is concerned, I myself have a short list for the American Sublime: the war that concludes the Marx Brothers’ Duck Soup; Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying; Wallace Stevens’s “The Auroras of Autumn”; nearly all of Hart Crane; Charlie Parker playing “Parker’s Mood” and “I Remember You”; Bud Powell performing “Un Poco Loco”; Nathanael West’s Miss Lonelyhearts; and most recently, the story of Byron the light bulb in Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow.

Re-introduction
So I’ve gotten an influx of followers which is super exciting! Thank you all for following me! It’s been an exciting year already as I’ve finally gotten kicked in the pants to start the rough drafts of my stories! 2019 was incredibly dry, save for a few instances, but I’m trying to make 2020 a better year for myself and my wips!
So anyway, you can call me Babble, Spiff, Tiff, what suits you! I’m 31 and I work full time. I have a major in baking and pastry arts that I’m not using XD I enjoy drawing and I’ve been doing my best to start putting my glorified daydreams to life. 
My major influences have been Disney’s Gargoyles, anime (Digimon, Dragonball Z, some El Hazard, bits here and there) Final Fantasy 7, Kingdom Hearts, Tomb Raider (I’m an old curmudgeon and we only talk about PS1 and L/A/U Lara in this house) Unico and the Island of Magic, and a sprinkling of Reboot and Elfquest, Sailor Moon and plenty more!! (some of these I still actively watch and enjoy like Gargoyles, Unico, FF7, Tomb Raider, and some KH)
I have four major wips! I specialize in fantasy and some sci fi and I’m still finding a lot of my roots, style, and worlds; but as I’ve been working on some rough drafts, things have been coming easier than when I’ve just daydreamed about it. My major wips are
Bequest (title pending) - fantasy/sci-fi/drama (will be focused on in March, July, and November 2020)
59 year old Tad Irving has had a life as a successful movie star, is still happily married to his first and only wife of 30 years, and has 3 wonderful kids. But despite all of the positives, there’s been something eating away at him since he was a child: Where did the source of his inhuman strength come from? A source of power, and horrific anxiety, Tad’s only shred of an answer may have come from his grandfather; who Tad never saw eye-to-eye with. Can Tad, with the rest of his family, unravel the mystery of where Tad’s powers came from? And, eventually, where their family comes from?
Princess Dagney and the Seahorse King (PDatSK) - fantasy/drama (Will be focused on in May and September of 2020)
A mere two hundred years after Humanity rounded up the Shapeshifters and reclaimed their autonomy, Princess Dagney, a descendant of the Shifters, learns her younger brother is dying. Will anyone who is able to help find themselves willing to help kin to the Shifter demons? Or will she only cause more trouble and trauma to still-healing wounds?
Hark - sci-fi/drama w/ biblical Christmas symbolism (we’ll see how that pans out) (Will be focused on in February, June, and October 2020)
Corbin Ghallager is a space cadet, traveling on his ship, the Hark, every few months to try and find an alternative planet to earth. Despite his own illnesses, Corbin’s determination to give humanity a second chance at a real life helps stir the best in people; but also recognition from those who will make things much more complicated.
CoffeeBoy - sci-fi/drama (Will be focused on in April, August, and December 2020)
When Silas Faulkner’s business goes under, he must keep a truce he made with his former rival, Petras Varga: he must serve as a coffeeboy at his home office for five years. Silas gets placed to work for Petras’ daughter, Oksana, who is one of the few actually doing her job (unlike her older brothers). However, Oksana’s views are much different from Petras’, and she’s actually eyeing the CEO spot of Vargas’ tech herself, and she enlists Silas for his tech knowledge and savvy nature. Hoping to see Petras dethroned, Silas and Oksana team up, and begin an underground coup to make the company their own.
I’m currently splitting my wips up per month to focus on them on my blog so I can rotate and keep motivation fresh. I post snippets of the chapters I’m working on through the month, and I’ll occasionally post a character sketch here and there.
You can find my writing here 
and you can find my art here!

for the obscure kin test, i've only met one other person who kins from my source, and they don't kin as seriously as me. and for my other sources, i'm canon divergent enough that i doubt anyone will match up with me. lol
