So far even the text written on the cover is better than 90% of what gets published these days...

In theory this is something I would enjoy. It's desperation to seem aware of the art biz is labored and forces a text that could be pleasantly pretentious into one that is awkwardly pretentious. The form of the text, a collection of archival items, is not as productive as it could be. Hustvedt still just writes the novel she would have written and gives each chapter a different attribution.

Damn book club!!!
