You know, sometimes Modern Love can really good and emotionally affecting (rarely), sometimes they're not great (often), and sometimes they're incredibly hilarious (intentionally or unintentionally). The headline of this one definitely has already landed it in the latter category.
I was thinking about blogging about it, but I don't even know where to begin, especially because one would have to acknowledge the attempt at humor alongside the horror, and really better just to leave it alone.
I have published four novels and two academic books; forthcoming in 2014 is "Reading Style: A Life in Sentences." I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
