writes: Innocence When I wrote this review (about nine years ago), I've asked: ''Ender's final training ... are so obviously גthe real thingג that it looks incredible that Ender ... never suspected a thing''. Well, John Kessel provided a clear answer in 2004, in his article ''Creating the Innocent Killer'' (http://www4.ncsu.edu/~tenshi/Killer_000.htm): if Ender knew, he would not have been innocent. And we have to believe that Ender, the Xenocide, is innocent -- as Kessel shows, Card goes a long way towards presenting Ender as innocent, no matter how ruthlessly he kills. | ||
