Well, if you put it that way... I guess it is being hinted, but I doubt any author would be foolish enough to write a relatioship (I just can't call it sex, or I'll go nuts) between a 15-year-old and an adult woman and expect that people will like it, or God help us, think it sexy and right.
There are authors who portray minor/adult relationships but they give the sense that it is wrong and a relationship between very fucked up individuals. But if LKH is mad enough to go through with this, she will still portray Anita as a conquering, supa powerful hero and Peter as a fragile teen who has been through a horrible experience. How can this be considered right? How can fans shrug it off and say it's all part of the book and story and world? Normal people don't consider these kinds of things normal, sane or good no matter how they are presented! Ugh. I hope we are wrong and LKH doesn't write such a thing. And if a rabid fanboy/girl calls us 'prudes' for thinking it wrong I'll know these people are somewhat crazy.
