This calls to mind a question from an undergraduate in the education department of a college I spoke at recently, who asked about difficult subjects in y/a literature as "appropriate to the healthy development of a young person." In the discussion that followed, the following additional questions were counterposed: what's healthy? which young person? So I'd like to follow in the same vein and counterpose the question: whose edge does this edginess describe?
