Controversy Literature

Snow Falling on Cedars is a narrative with a complicated structure and development mode. The plot of Guterson’s book is developed in a fictional setting, on a San Piedro island. The author tells a detective story of murder, and keeps the killer’s name unrevealed until the end of the story. He also analyzes such issues as betrayal, family values, dignity, honesty, etc. Guterson’s book had to face a lot of critics. For instance, it is now prohibited in one of Washington’s school districts. This is probably due to the fact that there are numerous scenes of violence described in the book.
