Congratulations on managing to reach page 13, though for the sake of
yourselves, I mean your braincells, your brainselves, I hope you do not
reach page 26.
Your intuition was right, that sentence you quoted means nothing. I'm
going to assume that the two writers (it took two brains to write that
sentence!) were being serious by the sentence, and thus everything else
they write. In which case I can most assuredly assure, there is nothing
more ridiculous to the human species than those "literary" "critics" who
take themselves seriously. I'd love to go up to one and just pat him or
her on the head. "Aw. Cute."
