TNYT Essay on AtD

[Keith McMullen]

I hope it is as appropriate (etymologically) as 'longueurs.'

longueur

NOUN:	A tedious passage in a work of literature or performing art:  
“longueurs and passages of meretricious vulgarity” (Stephen Schiff).
ETYMOLOGY:	French, from Old French longor, a protracted discussion,  
from long, long, from Latin longus. (See longitude.)
