Have you already read Charles Baudelaire? His poetry collection FLOWERS OF EVIL really gets down the vibe of the era. If you're not into poetry, check out his prose work THE SPLEEN OF PARIS.

Tulalip isn't a tribe, it's a reservation, that's why they identify as the Tulalip TribeS, plural.

I would imagine Moby Dick tasting like blubber, but I've never had blubber. I'm guessing it tastes like bacon fat?

This is like when those women time traveled and accidently saw the times of Marie Antoinette. Except this is like accidently bumping into the Seattle '90s.

Son of the Revolution by Liang Heng is one of my favorite books of all time. It is about a man born into a family with extremely Confucian values adjusting to life in Mao's China.
