Please read: This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values as it would if it were written today. "How much do we owe yesterday's literary greats? Enough to forgive them the racism, sexism, and homophobia that crops up in some of their work? I for one am inclined to be tolerant, since I recognize how much our culture has evolved in recent decades."
