Title: A bad writer who has a reputation as a literary genius
Product review: It is stunning how many critics, academics, and readers who want to think well of themselves have fallen for this trashy fraud. The man COULD NOT WRITE! His prose is the sort of stuff produced by clever but not very literate undergraduates. The stories are adolescent in design, the ideas are silly, and the whole effect is one of profound boredom.Wallace's works are intelligance tests: if you can be conned into thinking you should think these are good books, you aren't nearly as bright as you'd like to believe you are. Come on, admit it: you hate this stuff.
