There is so much airy-fairy twaddle in these snotty, crapulous and condescending critiques that it makes one want to puke. The assumption, for one, that because a writer writes well he must be hiding nothing to say. "He's probably still the best word-by-word, thought-by-thought, sentence-by-sentence writer we have, but isn't it time he moved on?" Move on to what? Writing in Wing-Dings?

ReplyDeleteI agree, Roger. Denigrating a writer because he writes so very well has to be one of the odder criticisms.
