It doesn't just skewer the entire Canadian literary establishment; it pretty much nails the rampant snobbery among that substantial garrison of the entire English-speaking literary world hellbent on keeping Literature safe from anyone with an imagination. Best, funniest piece of litcrit I've sung all year:
