Third time reading this one, and there is a dangerous edge to the book. West does not glory in the rot that can exist in societies and relationships, but he does reveal it. ML is far more explicitly a Christ-type than I had realized, and there is a sense that he cannot heal this world despite the queries to his column. Shrike is so clearly a forerunner of Judge Holden.
