Chris Marker R I P

[Mark Kohut]

I think your question is a good one that formulates one part of the
meaning of a book question. 
 
I say, no, not usually because a writer might see--diagnose--what is wrong
but 1) know that it goes far back    2) he is a seer, not a ...politician, leader
of changemakers (in person), billionaire with influence and charisma....
 
Yet, the Jungle did get change to happen and "poets are the unacknowledge legislators
of mankind' Sheelley once said although we probably LOL about that quote now.....
