<p>I couldn't open the article, but from the headline I imagine
him making some statement that roughly accords with his
undergraduate (sophomoric?) production Twitterature, in which
he and his co-author reduce great books, including Mrs
Dalloway, to tweets. Not too sure about the depth and power of
his literary skills. The NYT long ago ceased to care about all
but contemporary literature.
