The Virtue of the British Novel During the Great Famine

There's something about text that upsets people more than the thing actually happening. I mean, we've seen it very up close ourselves that a lot of people really reacted more violently to offensive satire than the reality of the things satirized. There is not a hint of un-virtue or vice in this novel. That's some amazing writing with action. You can see them like kind of bouncing it on their hand when he says that, you know?
