I believe the idea was that if they're going to trash the authors, it was only fairly to explain why in some detail.

I've read Tan, Cunningham and Lahiri -- decent writers, but I can agree with their inclusion. I've not read Foer or Vollman, but was familiar with the names.

Some of them really sounded like hard-core Ivory Tower navel gazing, combined with audacious self-promotion!
