Ennui Sets In
September 11, 2001, has had all kinds of unintended consequences. One of the least tragic, but most irritating, has been an explosion of absolutely terrible writing.
Neal Pollack, America’s Greatest Writer, is mad as hell, and he’s not gonna take it any more:
Nobody gives a shit what anti-war or pro-war writers think. Really. So shut up. That goes double for poets. Shut the hell up, poets. Everybody just shut up.
He makes many nuanced points, and I think the essential purity of his message shines through in excerpts such as the following:
Shut up, anti-war people. Shut up, pro-war people. Shut down your computers and shut your goddamn pieholes. No one gives a shit what you write, so stop writing about the war. Shut up, all of you.
