Your apologia for Webb's writing seems odd considering your screen name. So be it. You also seem more concerned about what others will think of us (Republicans) than what is wrong with the passages. Is that how we determine what is right and what is wrong? Why not take a poll? Call me a prude, if you like, but the misogyny, the pedophilia, the incest, his previous frequent use of the "n" word don't inspire me to think he writes culturally uplifting novels. I don't care if I upset people when I defend decency and our culture. He's free to write garbage, people are free to buy it, but I'm also free to call it what it is. I'll be called a hayseed before I'll pretend I'm so sophisticated that what Webb writes is belles lettres.
