Ozzie,
You know what is really a the joke about these self proclaimed 'literary critics'.....not one of them have ever, introduced their own PUBLISHED works to defend or imply anything they may happen to rail against.
It just so happens FS must have done enough research to convince some publishing house, that what he had to say, deserved consideration..he did just that...they printed and distributed his book.
So all you self promoting, ego maniancs, with a little 2cents of opinion, think about that before you go casting ass'perstions on what someone may decide is credible to consider, or not.
