About This Quote
The purpose of the book is not the horror, it is horror's defeat. When reading a book, you are not looking for horror. The purpose of the book is to get people to think differently about something that may be threatening or controversial. It is to make people question why they feel the way they do.
Through this book, the author hopes that readers will take away a new view of how things can be done in order to solve problems. For example, if reading a book about racism, the reader might then seek out another book that deals with racism in a different way or seek out different facts that would change their minds about what they previously thought.
