“I'm fascinated by this line of discussion regarding the names in the book. Changez - - well that one hits you over the head. But I didn't think of Erica/America - - also I suspect purposeful.Another thought occurred to me, and I wonder if I'm really stretching or if someone else thought of this too. Chris . . .could the dead Chris be a parallel to Christ. That in some way, for Americans, religion has died and left them worshipping capitalism and doing anything to defend it (believe me, this isn't what I think . . .just wondering if the author might be implying it . . .).”
“Bingo. The names are kind of a giveaway aren't they?”
