An Attack on the Growing Pretentiousness of American Literary Prose

It's B.R. Myers, at the Atlantic, from 2001, "A Reader's Manifesto."

I found it interesting in that he skewers Cormac McCarthy as one of his targets of bloated prose.

But frankly, I rather enjoyed Blood Meridian. It's a cool book, heh.
