A man with strong opinions of literature. "Nothing online exists which strives for posterity."

What's his benchmark? The question is a joke which has this punchline: The New Yorker.

His list of New Yorker immortals. Truman Capote. American Light Verse.

That's the genius of the New Yorker. Remain militantly middlebrow, yet appeal to snobbery.

Without research he had no basis for opinion. Never stopped anyone, of course. He seemed insulted when you pointed this out.

What's he do for a living?

Newspaper editorialist.
