Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Novelist Rodi (Fag Hag, The Sugarman Bootlegs) launches a broadside against the depiction of Jane Austen as a âa womanâs writer ⦠quaint and darling, doe-eyed and demure, parochial if not pastoral, and dizzily, swooningly romantic â the inventor and mother goddess of âchick lit.ââ Instead he sees her as âa sly subversive, a clear-eyed social Darwinist, and the most unsparing satirist of her century.â In this volume, which collects and amplifies two-and-a-half yearsâ worth of blog entries, he combs through the first three novels in Austenâs canon â Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Mansfield Park â with the aim of charting her growth as both a novelist and a humorist, and of shattering the notion that sheâs a romantic of any kind. âHiarious ... Rodiâs title is a tribute. Heâs angry that the Austen craze has defanged a novelist whoâs âwicked, arch, and utterly merciless. She skewers the pompous, the pious, and the libidinous with the animal glee of a natural-born sadistâ ⦠Like Rodi, I believe Austen deserves to join the grand pantheon of gadflies: Voltaire and Swift, Twain and Mencken.â - Lev Raphael, The Huffington Post
