Jonathan Lethem did not like James Wood's review

[David Morris]

Key statement:

"Earlier I’d been content to sustain a cloudy image of a persuasive
new critic who made people excited and nervous by passionately
attacking novels that people (including myself) passionately believed
in; now I found myself content to revise that in favor of an
impression of a unpersuasive critic whose air of erudite amplitude
veiled — barely — a punitive parochialism."
