factors in a story and narration.
*********** One of the problems you run into is that many
readers choose to twist the subtext of a book to match what
they want it to be. Another problem you run into is that good
literature is oftentimes ambiguous. So is Cormac McCarthy's
writing on the left or right?
And if one chooses to clothe the author in one's
interpretation of a book, then this is just one more layer of
dubious extrapolation.
