Re: Role of Race
I don't disagree, but really some books suit some readers better than they do others. I wouldn't want a child or a young teen reading this and being led to think the terminology is acceptable--and they won't. Because this book is an adult book, surely the adult audience can tell good past from bad past?
And bad or not, I don't believe in hiding history. We learn from history--both good and bad.

A writer has to be true to the story. They can choose the characters, and may use characters that are outsiders to the time period, which is sometimes one a modern audience might not be proud of. But every character should feel like a product of their time. The illusion of reality defines the best stories. And stories that feel real have lessons that tend to resonate with readers the most. Literature at it’s best shows solutions to problems you don’t want to get stuck with in life. But if such conflicts end up on one’s doorstep, a reader may feel doubly prepared for it.
