Nevertheless, the book appears to suffer from excesses
and a lack of self-discipline. In particular, a long harangue
against the publishing industry from one of the characters is
of questionable value. Is Tosches merely portraying a
character's obsession, or is it egotistical
self-indulgence.
Occupational hazard...Tosches is out of the New
Journalism/hippie alt.press/first-gen (or so) rock criticism
nexus. None of these overlapping fields are well known for
concision or adherence to verisimilitudinous structure when a
rant or musing can be tucked in. TM
