Long Answer
1. Photographs are a recurring motif in this book. Like stories, they record something meaningful to their creator, and this record can be passed to audiences across space and time. And also like stories, photographs can distort the “truth” in ways that are more powerful than empirical fact. (Various chapters)
2. Although King is keenly aware of how reductive dichotomous thinking can be, he cannot fully escape it and sometimes creates dichotomous categories of his own.
