La menace de l'Etoile du Soir

I like the reviews of this that complain about the racism of having a Cowboys and Indians foosball table. Reading them makes me feel smart about history, it makes me feel good that our society is so honesty about history, and it serves as a melancholy reminder that the real message of these children's novels is a complex statement about the pseudo-racist undertones of white American culture and their surreptitious integration into the post-modern philosophies which inebriate children's literature. I'm glad that I have the proper humility to understand these books when I read them, and to be ashamed of how bigoted my people are.

These books are great, and this is where it starts. I want a foosball table like that.

Critiques about this books plot, or characters, or writing are completely legitimate. Looking for things to trigger you in a kids book is a silly pastime. If you must, there's many better places to look. Sorry that a foosball table hurts your feelings.

But not really.
