Reader Feedback on "Purity Test"
I saw parallels between Election and the 2000 US presidential election. Tracy is Gore, the soul-less political machine, and the jock candidate is Bush, incurious but affable. John is the Republican leadership, determined to win and willing to cheat for what he considers good reasons.

I found it interesting that the author was less dogmatic a secularist than the interviewer. The generalizations about evangelicals by the interviewer were intellectually sloppy, and made the novel sound like caricature to a potential reader. The discussion about both sides getting angry at each other and feeling victimized was dead on. We moderates are left to moan, "A pox on both your houses!"
