Title: Proof that the literary world is populated by fools.
Product review: This book was lousy, is lousy, and will be lousy and forgotten ten years from now. Amazing that book reviewers in major papers and magazines went for this pretentious junk--but no more amazing than the junk they praise the year after and the year after that. The literary establishment no longer has the ability to discern quality or see pretention for what it is. Maybe that is because they are not so different from the author if this book. ...Ever notice that books like this get their best reader reviews early on--when readers are still blinded by the NY Times and New Yorker reviews?
