Yes, it was striking, wasn't it?! The aesthetically mean part of me kind of loves it when they get so blatantly scathing... (hmm, aesthetically mean, what do I mean by that?!)
I have published four novels and four books of literary criticism; I'm currently at work on a book called FOR THE LOVE OF BROKEN THINGS: MY FATHER, EDWARD GIBBON AND THE RUINS OF ROME. I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
Slight reading?
