Fantastic

From the NY Times review:" Critics of Leon Forrest's first two books - ''There Is a Tree More Ancient Than Eden'' (1973) and ''The Bloodworth Orphans'' (1977) - complained about overwriting, and examples of the fustian abound in this new work." Regardless of the irony inherent in using "fustian" to complain of "overwriting", I still remain at a loss to understand what either word means.
