No book more deeply and revealingly explains the spasm of madness through which 
the United States has passed in recent years than Moby Dick. For generations, 
it has been considered a masterpiece of world literature, but now can it be 
seen as an eerily prophetic allegory about 21st-century America. It is now 
truly the nation's epic.
