 Howevvvvvver aren't you running a terrible risk of inciting the wrath of
 practitioners among us of "French" lit crit by implying the novel has
 "a" point???

What's so terrible about that?  Sounds like fun.  (Heated discussions in 
which nobody knows what the question is because they are endlessly 
questioning what it is to 'know' or to 'question'--what could be better?)

And of course, as every happy kid with dirty hands knows, THE point of any 
novel is the part which is best for poking others...  But what are the 
"Others," you ask?  YOU are, to me.  [poke, poke]
 

BS
