Mein Kampf is a historical text now, it was once a political tract, never a work of fiction. As historical artefact it is interesting, as political rant it has worth in study. I find no dissonance in saying that I would read Mein Kampf and not read the fictional works of a man I know to be a 'campaigning' homophobe.
