I dunno, I have initial objections on both counts:
historical approaches seem like focusing on the hand rather than where
it's pointing. Truthfully I don't see anything more than oblique
references to Judi Bari via the passing mention of wasteful logging
practices; I think if he were an Earth Firster, he'd have found a
publisher willing to issue the books on hemp.
And the type of reader I am, largely escapist, makes me respectful of
his privacy, first because coming back out from the story into reality
is the opposite way to where I want to be heading,
and 2nd it's as if he were my dealer for these dreams and I don't want
to intrude on his private life...e's already sharing what he wants to
in the text, don't meddle in the affairs of wizards, etc etc
still, I'm having a lot of fun with the heresy notion, and that
initially didn't light my fire either, so - carry on if that's what
you're into...
