<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.

disappointing that Aciman would say such a thing, since
he’s a really talented novelist and smart person. I also
heard him say disparaging things about Nabokov in his
interview with Michael Silverblatt on Bookworm, though his
slam of Nabokov doesn’t bother me quite as much as this
one does…<o:p></o:p></span></a></p>
