Well, that sounds worth reading. I've worked with people on the problems of reading Huckleberry Finn. While Twain's book does tackle racism head-on in some places, in others it degenerates into pure stereotyping. And sometimes it's hard to tell whether he's being ironic (usually a safe bet with Twain) or serious. I try to read things like that with two or three minds at once, if that makes sense.
