I was rereading PD last night after not being able to meet on the old Board. I skipped all the island part as to boring and read the beginning and the end.
Interestingly enough as I was reading the words on Morangy(?) I was struck how he was described as blacker than Black Jake in the beginning. This I took to mean his heart was black. Yet in the fight with PD it is his race that is stated. I can not see that the race added anything to the story, so why did AR use it?
