Explaining this while restricting myself purely to description is   
impossible, as the novel works precisely because of implication of   
things left unsaid. (Which is par for the course for literary  writing)  
But it is equally problematic to skip over the problem of  Stilson, as  
it is a crucial part of the  novel.>>

Ender's Game is from 1985.
Doing a google reality check I get six hundred thousand hits for "Ender's  
Game" (enquoted).
So (even though I've never heard of it), it seems to have gotten a  
substantial appreciation base.
For interpretive claims, we, as expert editors, shouldn't need to rely on  
our own words or interpretation or analysis with that level of interest.
There should be several published book reviews that could be cited for  that 
sort of claim.
Right?
