Query: Disgrace a typo for Despair?

I was deeply disturbed by this novel. I dislike David for he "never got it." He rationalized his actions in lofty romantic Byronic terms, and he never once realizes that he too has committed rape because he mislabels it as desire. He even goes on to say how it enriched his life and "hers"? Yet that line of reasoning is left behind when his own daughter experiences rape by three black men because of the "violent" overtones. There is no redemption even though he has opportunities to redeem himself. His daughter Lucy also makes extremely bad choices that are not redemptive in any way. I realize many people never "get it", but I thought the reason literature existed is to show us those moments of illumination in the human psyche. This was too despairing for me. His life is empty because he is unable to see the richness, and he has passed on that inability to his daughter.
