A long outdated story, but worth reading to see how alike and how different things were from today. Interesting to see the way the author treated women. We've come a long way since 1958. Written in the midst of the civil rights movement, blacks are referred to once derogatorily. A gay character also shows us changing attitudes. Sad. Progress is slow, but we are making progress. The view of communism puts today's worries about the Middle East in a different light for me.
