Matthew Specktor is an unreadably lousy writer.
Pedestrian? Ordinary? Worse! Style-less! Unreflexive.
The opening pages suffice to prove my case,
either you know about prose or your don't. This is
just vulgar about vulgar people, naively so. Literature
it is not. Not even realism.
Specktor doesn't even exist, and David Shields, a
nearly equally bad writer, is only scratching his back
because Mathew scratches his at the L.A. Book Review.
