So I've been thinking a lot about the claim that the book has no unifying theme and that may be true but I think there must be something there because I found the organization of subjects pleasingly cohesive in, I guess, an abstract sort of way.
I'm having trouble articulating this....
Obviously they cover a wide range of topics (who knew parenting skills and crack dealers could be in the same book?). But the thing is, every comparison was equally out there. KKK to real estate agents, abortion and crime... it's all about taking things that are seemingly unconnected and using them to shed light on a societal issue.
If a theme is a repeating idea throughout a piece, I really think that the theme of the book is how every factor of society can be and is connected, and all affect each other.
Unless you'd rather call that the message, in which case this entire post just lost all purpose.....
