This is a compendium of authors insulting each other's works. It is hilarious. Of course I don't think all the criticisms are valid (and the fact that D.H. Lawrence, of all people, would criticize anyone else for being dirty-minded is astonishing), but the choice of language is just priceless. (Seriously, compare it to the insults by directors: It's “A great cow full of ink.” and "Every time I read ‘Pride and Prejudice,’ I want to dig [Austin] up and hit her over the skull with her own shin-bone." vs. "Shut up!" "You're boring!" "You're stupid!" "Fuck you!" "So's your momma!" "Booger head!" "Neener butt!")
