Oh, yes. I'm regaling myself with Steven Moore and heated sake at 4 a.m. - DAMN good thing that it's summer break. :)

Oh yes, this is already amusing: "It's God-damn Litachure!" But why the overemphasis on rhetorical display as the primary mark of Litachure? I think of Thelen's Zweites Gesicht which has everything: character, story (an infinite number), "real" life, AND a burgeoning, flowering, coruscating rhetorical performance.
