Talk:In the Heat of the Night (novel)

Major Symbols
About this section, did the author himself make these comments about his first novel? Or, is this someone's speculation? Is all this really necessary for the article? I'm sure someone put a great amount of effort into analysing the novel but, it would help if we had the author's own words. 142.167.172.81 (talk) 22:58, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
