Speaking of overrated comic novelists:I seem to be digging myself in deeper. I hereby take back everything I have said so far. It’s a disgusting, horrid, loathsome book. Miller should be ashamed. No — he should be executed. I issue a fatwa.
Normally, a reviewer quotes from the book. However, since there are very few sentences in these 321 pages that don’t contain an obscenity or moral atrocity, we will not be quoting extensively from the text. The more’s the pity, because Miller is a genuinely witty writer. Sorry, I left my sense of humor at NYTIMES.COM. I must admit people like BILL BUCKLEYSON get me angry because I couldn't get published if I paid for it with a pound of my own flesh, and BILL BUCKLEYSON and his ilk can (and do) run anything, and get bootlicking raves.
Why do I continue blogging if all it gets me is five hits and angry?
