Miller, Resurrection Blues: For richer or poorer
Miller, Resurrection Blues (to be published in February) -- Jerz: American Lit II (EL 267)
Felix:...It's because you're a rich man in a poor country, that's all...but we're moving, by god!
It seems to me like Felix expects the poor country to catch up to the rich citizens, like it is somehow indebted to them, like it's the lesser in this master-slave relationship. Henri, on the other hand, seems to believe that it is the people who are at fault (he especially blames himself for abandoning the communist revolution--a revolution by the poor against the rich).
