Exactly. Attention-deficit texts are abandoning nuance, craft, and allusion, and probably many other things as well. (I'm going to print this out and study it harder, one reading isn't enough.) Thank you, and I hope you can keep going at your day job without being completely hollowed out, or even better, that you get involved in that Great Resignation that's going around, and find something more fulfilling to do!
Gasp. Hold on. Let me catch my breath. ... OK. About half-way through, I thought, 'I'll come back and finish this later.' Then, I thought, no, I can see the summit from here. It's not that far. It is, though! It is that far.
Kevin, thank you for clarifying the types of texts. It makes so much sense to me. Much more sense that Ulysses, don't get me started on Faulkner. You'll need one of the ADHD things you spend all day writing to "hook" me on Faulkner.

Are you a fan of Robertson Davies? He once described a good book as like the sheet music for a concerto for book and reader.
