Sucking on social media's biased teat made me LOL. I think you are asking important questions, but they're more effective in an in-person realm. So many things online are mis-communicated because tone is missing, or most people don't know how to convey tone, or most people don't have a developed sense of humor or understand sarcasm or irony. So many fights erupt online because of these reasons. I do think it would be interesting to read how Chris' parents meet Starr. There are so many layers to this work, and ways of understanding it. Ultimately, I'm glad it's out there as it provokes a discussion. It's astounding that it's on the Banned Books List as Jill pointed out.
