To start, it is nice to read an essay that doesn't twist itself up in knots.

 He sets out to argue that the P-Industry has done much twiisting to
the postmodern beats, but has ignored P-Politics. I don't this is
true.

The fact this author is approaching the old book, that is GR, after so
many years of critical study, and the changes that have taken place in
how reading is approachd and so on, undermines this claim, that is,
that this author will address something largely ignored.

But this doesn't realy matter that much.

Had author acknowledged the others who have addressed P-Politics, he
would need to read them and give them credit, but he chooses to claim
that he is doing something new.  This is a common enough way to get an
essay of this kind going, hooking the reader by claiming to have
something to add, but since it is GR, it ignores others, even if it
does add as well.

What does it add other than its readable sentecces and well developed
paragraphs?

Lotz!

To those.....things.....
