She's complicated. She was racist, but also condemned racism and sexism several times in her novels. She kind of reminds me of Thomas Jefferson and all of his contradictions.
I agree. A lot if the time her characters are racist but the plot isn’t, if you see what I mean. There are definite winces as you read but then she did make a war refugee from another country one of her great heroes…
I like Michael Crichton, too, who was racist and sexist but evovled with time. His books get less and less problematic. It's still hard to read tbh. Dont even get my started on Stephen King. His is totally avoidable and not character based in many instances.
