Of course, I couldn’t help myself and went along and re-read Lescroart’s Guilt, the best American legal drama. And here’s what’s funny. I first read the novel sometime in 2005 when I was at the apex of my leftism. The novel stages a confrontation between the conservative and the liberal viewpoints, and even back then my sympathies were completely on the side of the conservative approach. There’s a character named Sam who is a feminist, and I despised her passionately at that first reading. I still feel exactly the same. My entire perception of the novel changed not a whit in the past 20 years.
It was always destined that I’d become a conservative, is what I’m saying.
