"fascistic disposition" paragraph

[s~Z]

>>> While he doesn't have anything specific to say about 9/11 or the Patriot
Act here either, his attack on American systems of power is of a piece with
the criticism of American government *in toto* in his fictions and
elsewhere.<<<

Agreed. The entire essay could have been written before 9/11 and there is
not one word, phrase, or sentence that wouldn't make 100% sense.
