Excellent video! Really well put together.

Terrific. The LARB's takedown of Jonathan Franzen "Mr. Difficult" is a small classic. Good jawb! Thanks. LOL

It’s not an indictment of capitalism, it’s an indictment if corruption of the system, which can happen to any system. He believes in pointing out the weaknesses so they can be addressed, that’s all writers’ responsibility. He is NOT anti capitalism, he has been interviewed about it many times. You analysis is shallow and predictable, another thing he writes about frequently.

Would like to hear your take on the typical shpeel of postmodern saints ala Gravity's rainbow(and Pynchon's other works in general), Infinite Jest, umberto eco's work, and, well, The recognitions. Great video!
