Zanetti’s article is a bit strange. I agree with some of it - but don’t care for the idea of a blog as not being suitable for writing about literature. What an odd thought. Thanks for the link, Jilly.

“a blog as not being suitable for writing about literature” - Anthony didn’t say this, that was from one of the articles he was quoting.
