Re: IVIV: chapter seven—Eel Trovatore

[David Morris]

I think these criticisms are snarky at best.  They're all attacking
what is IV's attitude/voice which is supposed to be laid-back
stoner-LA.  It's purposefully sloppy diction.  I don't think it's bad
writing.  It IS cartoonish, purposefully so.  If there is any depth
going on here (and I don't know that there is), it's hidden
underneath.
