Speaking of writers, or journalists more specifically, what do you make of Upsher and Doth, their quest, and how they are viewed by different facets of society?

What do you make of the commentary on the role of literature and journalism in individual and cultural change? Specifically the influence and importance of what is considered Tabloid, pulp, or low-brow literature (such as romance novels, pulp mysteries comics, etc)?

Do you think that this story is an effective twist on the classic Romeo and Juliet wherein the sweethearts manage to live and bring their families together?
