resounding applause

Wow. I wonder how B.R. Myers feels today.

I haven't read the book (I know), but the review was off the charts scathing. Like, made us wince.

Dude got his 15 minutes in the States for writing "A Reader's Manifesto," (mentioned in his credits). Besides being a prof. of Korean literature (wtf?) he's made a second career of sorts as the malcontent critic. That essay ("Manifesto") was a good read; it was funny and cracked on Daffy DeLillio, Too Cool For School Proulx, and crotchety ol' Cormac. He seems to enjoy taking shots at National Book Award winners. I kind of respect that.
