Craig Thompson said in a 2011 PopTones interview that "Edward Said talks about Orientalism in very negative terms because it reflects the prejudices of the west towards the exotic east. But I was also having fun thinking of Orientalism as a genre like Cowboys and Indians is a genre — they’re not an accurate representation of the American west, they’re like a fairy tale genre. "

The light are on but nobody's home.

Seriously Craig, tell me you're projecting without telling me you're projecting. Dehumanizing books like these say more about the author than the people they claim to be writing the story about.
