Document Type
Book Chapter
Annotation
Disagrees with the novel’s negative critical reception, arguing that its “un-American” ideology colored both popular and academic opinion against it. Points to the novel’s complex characterization, carefully wrought structure, beautiful imagery, and cogent allegory as proof of its genius.
