In looking for reviews of a book that I had read, I found two astonishingly different analyses of the work. The reviewers did not agree on many points, perhaps on no points. What are we to make of this common occurrence?

There may be an objective reality, but I more and more believe there is no person able to discern what that reality is. There is no shortage of persons quite sure that they have understood things and are able to tell a good story. I ain’t one of of those who is sure but maybe I can at least tell a good story..
