Interesting take on what's been said. I'm not sure why you interpret it
that
way, as I don't recall anyone saying that those who don't find Wolfe
appealing were lazy or unwilling to work. Perhaps it was hidden in the
text,
a careful blend of hints and clues that requires multiple readings to ferret
out the hidden slur. I would have thought that reading Wolfe might have
sensitized me to such subtleties, but apparently I wasn't sufficiently
perceptive to notice this subtext.
Yes, we must be sensitive to the "unreliable narrator" technique ...
