So much to like here, but my very favorite thing is the coining of the phrase "industrial judgemental complex". I hope that it makes its way quickly and emphatically into the everyday lexicon and that you get full credit! Nicely turned!
Good piece. I’m still troubled, after so many years, by Nabokov as per (4). The work is paradigmatically illustrative of the discomfort - cognitive and emotional dissonance, if you prefer - which many people, attitudes and acts can provoke when at odds with themselves in the sense of being self-contradictory.
Yay Michael and Yay to the family that understands the pain their actions caused

It’s great how your understanding of the book and your own growth continue to evolve and change like the rocks on the beach.
Thanks Sam!
Thanks Amy!
