#TBRtemptation post 4! This is full-length, undistilled version of the essay that incited one of the most passionate literary controversies in American letters! When the Atlantic Monthly published an excerpted version, which was a polemic attacking literary giants--like Delillo, Proulx, & Cormac McCarthy--it created global clamor. It does much, much more though. And this book has his response to critics. Must-read! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
