Seems like we're part of a trend. Two days after I posted my "literary turfer" entry last week taking issue with the misplaced elitism of some reviewers, a funny piece entitled "I Am Not A Jackass" appeared in The New York Times. A.J. Jacobs author of The Know-It-All, fights back after a particularly savage review by Joe Queenan (which "I Am Not A Jackass" provides a link to.)
