Most critics are of a flatulent sort; airy heads that fart out the most cretinous of wafty stink - methinks they're afraid to delve into the shifting vapors of our Gass' miasmic mind.

He's the kind of author plebs who think they're patrician enjoy, because his prose is a simulacrum of a literary aesthetic.
