Art in Last Summer of Reason

In most societies there are certain aspects that influence the people apart of the population and create individuality...such as art, music poetry, writings, books, and the preforming arts. Unfortunately this is not the case in the novel, with the "new world order" in full swing all forms of self expression and anything that could lead society astray and lose sight of god are either banned or frowned upon. Art in particular is not mentioned much except for the instances when Boualek Yekker is talking about all that is banned as a whole,other wise it is rare. One aspect of art that does come out however is the art that is in Boualek's head. On numerous occasions he gives colorful descriptions of places and situations and even people, although this does not come across as the typical art that we think of, it is a very strong aspect when all other forms have been abolished.
