[QUOTE="T_G, post: 108438, member: 175083"] Maybe it was social critisism as well, as he grew up in the east and was familiar with the then popular racism that people in the US had against yellow, black or red. I am not really in a position to judge that, I need to read the book again (which I am going to do very soon). But, any book that targets the issue of human rights or social injustice (don't forget that when he wrote the book the USA was still deeply segregated (!)) is a good book in my book! I was just thinking about this the other day when I read a book about early black music in the US, founders of popular music and giants of Jazz weer not allowed to pi*s in the same bowl in the 60ies. Land of the free.... [/QUOTE]
