Worst sentence ever: "A story or novel might earn a kind of reverence, but if the critical starting point is reverence, then it is impossible to describe what in the work prompted the reverence, because if the starting point is reverence, then reverence is a state of mind the reader brought to the work before the work did anything to the reader, so it’s not any more at issue whether or not the writer made anything to inspire reverence, because it’s not the thing the writer made that inspired the reverence." From a review of a review of Alice Munro in Salon, who apparently edit only with spell-check.
