The fact that VN neglects to offer an obvious, ham-handed disclaimer does not mean that his exploration of darkness constitutes an endorsement. Quite the opposite, in fact. By avoiding the shadows altogether, one develops a peculiar sort of blindness. You fail to recognize them as they envelop you from within.

Black-and-white is easier, certainly. But I’ve always found more beauty — and moral clarity — in the world of grey.

Just a thought.
