Personally, I like free will, but also significant to this
discussion is the hardcore determinism of the early American
Calvinists. James Fennimore Cooper panned it in Last of the
Mohicans, but other American authors played to it in a very
proto-noir sense. Examples would be Hawthorne's House of the
Seven Gables and Melville's Moby Dick.
