I love that American style of 'literary journalism'. Echoes right back to Thurber, even Twain.

Always good to be reminded that it's the content that matters. That there IS stuff worth reading.

After spending a day prettifying a self-congratulory autobiography or a manual on Pyramid Selling. Or, best of all, a tome on Acupuncture which, after several chapters of minute detail admitted that the location of the meridians is disputed, and really it's all about the therapist's intentions.... Arrrrrgh!
