Negative Positive
Title: Absolutely, astonishingly bad
Review: A true sign of a work's worthlessness is the amount of venom and bizarre conspiratorial ravings that its followers heap on anyone who criticizes it. See the Ayn Rand writings, the torture that is L. Ron Hubbard, and now this offering of garbage.This book posits itself as rescuing literature from "postmodernism", but it is the sort of rescuer who kills the hostage in the attempt. For what is "Drake Raft" -- with its ceaseless, horrific non-jokes, its inept syntax, its groaningly obvious allegories, its artless, pathetic prose style, its witless "plot" -- if not a brutal, ugly murder of literature? McGucken is a verbicide and his book is terrible.
