Take the following as truth: [I]t would be pornographic, if it weren't art (Walter Kendrick, the New York Times Book Review ). Others find that the novel's format--a combination of letters and rambling diatribes--makes the story repetitious and tedious.
Then the following statement: "The book about the demons, if it weren't an art, would be pornographic." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: Inconclusive
