Letters to the Editor

What a relief!
As the one who first made the tongue-in-cheek suggestion that CP wrote her own fan letters I was relieved to find that Salon has not stooped that low. I think Tamburlaine's response to my initial post provides a perfectly adequate explanation. Original post below.
Camille you zany prose stylist you!
Camille Paglia has alway been and adventurous rhetorician, but I love this new gambit. She's obviously written all the "fan mail" herself and then proceeded to answer it! I mean, come one, there is no way that all her interlocutors could just happen to write the same ponderous, meandering, prose as she does. Think about it.

Good one, Cacambo
Most of them seem to have been written by bootlicking fanboys and fangirls, so it's possible they've been slavishly imitating her style for so long you can't tell them from the real thing.
