And, it's preposterous to claim offense. Kaufman feels strongly about the physical book, and it is natural to relate to something which has strongly impacted his early life. Methinks his imagery works well for what he intends to convey.

Actually, his imagery is the problem for me. As I said, the Nazi references are uncalled for and just plain indecent. Remove them and yes, you just have a heartfelt rant from someone who feels threatened by the changes around him. I can relate to that. There's just no need to call me a Nazi because I don't feel threatened by the same things.
