Truman Capote !kwxizAOFlk Thu Jan 20 08:44:12 2011 No.1475824

>>1475802

That's strange because he was a member of the labour party and said things like:

"It is always necessary to protect peaceful people from violence. In any state of society where crime can be profitable you have got to have a harsh criminal law and administer it ruthlessly."

and:

"I belong to the Left and must work inside it, much as I hate Russian totalitarianism and its poisonous influence in this country."

He said all these things prior to writing Animal Farm and 1984.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 20 08:51:12 2011 No.1475850 >>1475824 I think your problem here is that you're equating the Left with the extreme Left, which is just nonsensical.

>>	Truman Capote !kwxizAOFlk Thu Jan 20 08:56:12 2011 No.1475864 >>1475848 It illustrates that his authorial intentions are significant and should be considered. Sorry but I can't stand post-modernism, it's just so quasi-intellectual and baseless. >>1475850 Of course I'm not.
