Well, based on the title I am not 100% clear what the book will be about.
It sounds like it's your reading too much into his work and finding hidden
symbolisms as opposed to Alan M.'s original intension.
For example, Joe Q. hates redheads for some undisclosed reasons and he acts
out at work and insist that such characters meet miserable fates.

Kenneth,
Publishers set the price; the kindle edition is only $9.99 on Amazon right
now, however. . . I'm afraid that there is no excerpt available for posting.
I do think, for the many Moore fans out there, that this is a god-send in
terms of academic criticism. If you have to, get a copy through
inter-library loan.

And that, Kenneth, opens a whole can or worms--the intentional fallacy, reader response theory and so on. :)
