I adore this author and many of his books, but this was an absolute slog. And for such a short story, that is saying something. To me, it utterly lacked nuance and I was constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop on this commentary ... But it never came. I appreciate the intent of the message, but I felt like I was being bludgeoned with it. The only reason this wasn't a DNF was because of how short it is..
