Why is it that so many of the critics I’ve been working through recently are described as if they’re unruly children? I’m relieved to read that some reviewers also thought my current critic “willfully difficult”; I’ve spent a week working through his complex (but very interesting!) prose. No matter how interesting he is, however, I wonder that my former babysitting charges and the gurus of my current field conjure up the same words . . .
