Doesn't matter OP. Even if there were no great American writers to stand by in Literature, I would stand by John Green and his Fault In Our Stars and, until a better novel came along, I would swear up and down that it was not very far behind Ulysses.

>He tasks me; he heaps me. I see in him outrageous strength, with an inscrutable malice sinewing it. That inscrutable thing is chiefly what I hate, and be the white whale agent, or be the white principal, I will wreak that hate upon him. Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I'd strike the sun if it insulted me. For could the sun do that, then could I do the other, since there is ever a sort of fair play herein, jealousy presiding over all creations. But not my master, man, is even that fair play. Who's over me? Truth hath no confines.
Memorized this passage. It's just so good.

Whether consciously or subconsciously, Melville realized the fundamentally Faustian and apocalyptic spirit of the American. To be an American is to be in permanent state of rebellion against the established powers, in an almost Satanic sense. It is to be an endless rebel. Ahab embodies this perfectly.

As an American I feel the opposite is true. We like to say we are rebels and champions of liberty but at the end of the day we are boot-lickers just like everyone else.
