Some funny lines in there but why spend so much time on There There if it's years old and not very good? I would consider that just a "middle-brow novel." They're not supposed to be good!

Why does nobody know about this Substack? This thing is so fucking good.

Dora, the point being made here - @Castalia let me know if I'm speaking out of turn - is that a "middlebrow novel" like There There is representative of a whole style of literature, which incidentally is getting disproportionate attention and praise. We have become completely overrun by 'woke lit' and it's useful to try to analyze its components.
