Greil Marcus vs. Inherent Vice

[Joseph Tracy]

You guys are tough critics. I liked  the IV bit. I thought the LA woman thing was overdone, but for a compact review it covered more than many and pointed to the darker crimes taking place in LA at the time of Manson which some critics didn't appear to notice. The LA Woman thing  also obscured the comic parodies. Marcus gets carried away, which is , you know, kinda what music is all about. I admit I won't be  checking out the book.
