I was very annoyed when Joyce Carol Oates perpetrated that
hatchet-job
in the NYRB (I circulated this privately to some people in
the list),
and even more when Robert B. Parker wrote a condescending
review on the
NYT Book Review.
In these reviews, I detected a similar resentment to that
evidenced by
Ellroy - the children rebelling against the father or some
such Freudian
reaction.

MT
