What common ground could they possibly have? One is a promoter of racism, while the other is a literary giant who reflects on issues of racism. Yes, I admit that comparing Thomas Dixon to William Faulkner is sacrilegious for fans of Faulkner. "Why? With so many good books in the world, why would you choose the worst one?" Given that this is not a "racist novel book club" but rather "William Faulkner book club", I do not intend to go into detail about the plot of this book here. Not only that, but I also plan to translate it chapter by chapter into Chinese. Yes, it's the sequel to the original "The Birth of a Nation". Recently, I started reading "The Traitor" by Thomas Dixon. (As what I'm about to discuss is closely related to racism, if you feel uncomfortable, I do not recommend you to read on.)
