[Vwoolf] NYT By the Book

[Christine Froula]

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.
