More Answered Questions

A Goodreads user
A Goodreads user asked Manny Rayner:

Still don't understand why modern science or the intellectual class doesn't criticize the mass market consumption of Harry Potter/ Divergent that are deeply Platonic with the classification of characters into various houses, while it continues to criticize Plato's Republic for classification based on dominance of appetite, courage & reason. As if Rowling simply lifted off unabashedly from Plato. Explain; please?

Have you read The Queen's Gambit, by Walter Tevis? I would be interested in your opinion of it.
