The author’s main message or purpose

DBC Pierre probably wants, as many authors, to entertain. But I don’t think that’s his main purpose. His main purpose was maybe to give the reader the perspective of how it could be if you’re an outsider in our society. An outsider who has difficulty to defend himself because of his personality and because he was already judged upon. Maybe this is the way the author wants to show how cruel the people are to others without even knowing if they are guilty or not. It could be that the author uses to book to express his criticism for the judicial system, as we know it now and what it could become. I also believe that DBC Pierre wants to show how the media, through it’s constant hunger for better quotes, will sacrifice peoples lives for their success. And I think he also wants to show us how beautiful Mexico is, probably because he must have had some good memories when he lived there. And one thing, which came to my mind was the question, why would the author choose the name Martirio for the town Vernon is from, considering that Martirio is the Spanish word for martyrdom.
