A Prayer for Owen Meany, John Irving
Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling
The Lord of the Flies, William Golding
When we first discussed Inherit the Stars, we talked about how certain elements of that story reflected Hogan's Englishness. It seems to me that emphasis on individuality and creativity found in Ender's Game make this a uniquely American novel.
At the end of the novel we see the world rejoicing when it learns hat Ender has annihilated the entirety of the Bugger race. Does it seem likely that after enough time has passed the people will begin to condemn Ender's actions (as Ender does)? (I've read the second book so I know the answer to this question!)
