<< Hmmm...I read the book many times, and I must have read it wrong, because
I did not get a pessimistic message. I thought it was a wry, ironic and
yes, pragmatic book: seeing people and situations as they are rather than
glorified pap doesn't in my book :-) spell pessimism. A dose of reality
tempers the American Dream and sundry quest initiatives (sometimes called
Empire, sometimes personal voyages of self-discovery).

I had been under the (mistaken?) impression that some of what went on it the
Wizard of Oz was a satire on the Progressive Era and progessive politicians.
Anyone else heard that? Anyone buy it?
