That is some sweet social commentary. I will suggest that both Himes and Spillane have social commentary but Himes'is just a wee bit more subtle.

************ Choosing to interpret the rantings of the protagonist as the social subtext is a straw man argument. If you so desired, you could find plenty of similar rantings in Himes's work. And if I wanted to play that game, I could derive plenty of nasty social commentaries from Himes that you probably wouldn't feel comfortable with.
