If you habitually portray the entirely predictable as a shock (for example hurricanes) rather than an expected event, then it is difficult to detach the individual disaster from what may be a new and disturbing trend; much easier to elide the two. By focusing her tale through the experiences of these two relatively uninvolved protagonists, Paterson elides much potentially narrative-clogging background filler (provided in an author's note at the end), the modern reader's unfamiliarity with the particulars finding a mirror in Jake's and Rosa's bewilderment. It is misleading because it elides the larger issue of xenophobia and anti-Muslim bias. |
