misc. "Gratified speechlessness": If only: On reading our novelists despite.............

[Mark Kohut]

Yes, I don't "recognize" this book either. Smile....

This guy is so in love with his vision of himself reading, not the 
books.....short or long...
sustitutes his own sensibility for any real engagement with the author's......

So, he judges from his Advanced Degree heights......'great set pieces' (cause he 
LIKED them)....
but as insights -----------NOTHING, as Gaddis might write....

This guy IS IN The Recognitions, all thru it.........what's that bit?  just 
speak of 'the use of color' as one
fraud preps for another art party......
