The venom is remarkable
One better emerge out of the womb with a cigar in one's fist, cussing, and butt ugly if one is to be taken seriously as a writer or, indeed, as a person.
What does this say about Americans? Am I imagining that in Europe this author's confessions might be taken more charitably?
The animosity probably IS a class and gender thing. The last time I remembered such venom was among catty high school girls.
Maybe some of us cherish innocence.
