In the Blood
By Richard C. Lewontin
I would like to take the opportunity offered by John Weightman's essay on Frederick Brown's biography of Zola [New York Review, March 21] to provide a somewhat different analytical emphasis. My remarks are not made with the intention of quarreling with anything that either Weightman or Brown has written, but to place at the center of our understanding of Zola a question that is touched on, but not emphasized, in both the biography and the review.
