Siddhartha Deb on Rick Moody's new novel, The Diviners:

"Moody isn't the worst writer of his generation, as fellow novelist Dale Peck said of him in a scathing review a few years ago. He is entirely representative of his generation, especially in writing a book that has numerous trivial observations on what goes into the creation of TV while almost entirely ignoring the things that make a good novel."
