Christopher asked this question about The Fifth Heart:
Is this book as racist as Flashback? That made me question my Dan Simmons love and wonder if I would ever buy a book from him again. I try to separate people's kooky politics from their writing, but it was so overwhelming and hideous in Flashback.
Lukas Persson I've read EVERYTHING from Simmons, save for Flashback and Drood, I think, and I've NEVER noticed any racism in his writing. I'm not saying your wrong …moreI've read EVERYTHING from Simmons, save for Flashback and Drood, I think, and I've NEVER noticed any racism in his writing. I'm not saying your wrong at all, again, I've not read it, but is it possible that the racism you speak of is just a part of the story/characters in the book? (less)
