Quote:
Stories are propaganda, virii that slide past your critical immune system and insert themselves directly into your emotions.
Was delighted to find this book long after I thought I had read it, but hadn't. Still one of my favorite contemporary novels, Doctorow writes stories to address society's wrongs in a way that is at once entertaining and educational. I learn something every time I read him and can't put the book down until the story is lodged in my heart.
