He suggests that society needs to embrace diversity and creativity in order to overcome the blight of respectability. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for a general audience. Overall, The Blight of Respectability is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to reconsider their ideas about respectability and its role in society.
