Morrison is “the undisputed master of wandering verb tenses”

All right, now you've done it. I absolutely love the study of literary style, so now I'm forced to go out and actually read some Toni Morrison.

But fear not. I'll do it at the library. (She won't receive a penny of my money.)

Writers get a lender’s fee when their work is taken from the library don’t they?

It’s much like what Tom Wolfe pointed out about much of modern art. It it weren’t for professors and critics explaining it and pontificating about how terrific it is no one would pay much attention to it and if the criticism and teaching of it does not last, neither will it.
