Change of plans, actually. I recently came across the book A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, a book that I have heard so much about. Supposedly it is a brilliant novel, terrifying and marvelous at the same time. It is the story of a vicious teenage boy named Alex who is the leader of a criminal gang. Together they violently terrorize the community, beating men and raping women, with no regard for human life. I decided that I am more attracted to this mind grabbing violence than to the moral debate of The Sunflower at the moment. In conclusion, A Clockwork Orange will be my first novel, so place The Sunflower on the shelf for a while.
