Removed the following part:
- He even refuses to learn how to communicate through written language: as Susan and Foe try to teach him to write the letter "a" he traces a big "o", which could stand for Omega, the last letter in Greek alphabet.
I just finished the book and couldn't find that part - in the end Foe shows Susan that Friday wrote lots of 'o' on a paper and says he'll try to teach him the 'a' the next day. (clem 17:07, 29 May 2005 (UTC))
[edit] Article
I just finished this book and did not expect to see a Wikipedia article about, much less one so well developed, it was a pleasant surprise, thank you.
This is a complicated book and I'm still not sure of all the various levels. The Times Literary Supplement called it "An inventive and provocative allegory of the creative process". Can anyone explain what might be meant by that? It was also interesting the novel makes subtle reference to a number of other classic works about oppression: there is a nod to Huckleberry Finn, and Oliver Twist. There may be others but those are the ones I had previously read and could see the allusions. --Stbalbach 02:43, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
