@@aaronosrs I have reflected upon your words for a few weeks now, and have come to the conclusion, that Mr. Bobtrotter IS infact intelligent. Now this, of course, is very reductive to just sum up in a single word, without further explanations, but I assure you I will publish my thesis on the subject in the next issue of the Paris Review.

Yeah, you know why? Because he's one of the few authors who knows what he's doing, who has a clear structure and method. He can explain what his approach is. As opposed to people like David Foster Wallace, who was a fraud and didn't have a clear perspective
@@HomeAtLast501 yeah what a floopy fraud that phony pencil pusher Mr. Imposter Wallace was. lets gang up together, just you and me, and let's maybe say it louder? Apologies, my family is visiting from cross-state, not sure who that was - But Walter Walkman sorry, Wallice,, structurally, at least had the skeletal mold of the sierapinski gasket in mind when crafting IJ, so its a little less than charitable to imply he didn't know what he was doing in this way/ But I'd agree thematically he might have shot off all at once in near all ways, but some people seem to enjoy it most for this reason/

During one of the lectures Stein discusses sentences (how they work, what she feels about them, &c), including the “It looked like a garden” one Idk where Silverblatt’s is from
