Well, maybe not.
I particularly like the repeated, rather clinical sounding references to Hawthorne, Melville, Emerson, and Thoreau as "four Northern white male writers."
As if the thing were being written at the Marxist-Feminist University of Tralfamador, a thousand years hence, by someone very remote, indeed, from being Northern, white, male, or even a writer.
Tralfamadorans looked rather like bathroom plungers, as I recall.
Anyway, we are a long way from Harold Bloom.
Does the word "duckspeak" come to mind?
