+1 for Distinction. It's the most painful book you'll ever read -- or fail to read because it's so painful -- but afterwards, you'll really feel as though the difference between political values and taste is an illusion induced by methodological training.

:). Tbh, between you and me, even if based on made up people, a clearly articulated example is still instructive. Gets you thinking. We have intuition for what’s reasonable. Like fiction. (I cite downton abbey and The Wire and Anna Karenina in class)

I'm a big fan of that pedagogical technique. Good fiction may use different methods but it *deeply* explores a lot of the same ideas!
