In Which I, Nathan Englander, Offer Myself Up for Space Force
American leaders really did once pride themselves on enterprise and invention. And yet now—day in, day out—you read reports of devolution in the U.S. on every conceivable government-run front.

In my Mojave culture, many of our songs are maps, but not in the sense of an American map. Mojave song-maps do not draw borders or boundaries, do not say this is knowable, or defined, or mine.

Identity has become a central feature of national conversations: identity politics and identity crises are the order of the day.
