On Men Like Local Train Station
I really enjoyed reading this, but the argument is fueled by the same retrograde romanticism that brought back trucker hats. Sorry.

On Sympathy For Jonathan Franzen
Jonathan Franzen's criticism always reminds me of the beginning of the essay 'Hamlet and His Problems', where T.S. Eliot writes about "that most dangerous type of critic: the critic with a mind which is naturally of the creative order, but which through some weakness in creative power exercises itself in criticism instead. These minds often find in Hamlet [[or in Franzen's case, anything, including but not limited to Facebook, birds, or Edith Wharton]] a vicarious existence for their own artistic realization."
I also think he's a mighty talented novelist.
