DBC on Mr. G

David-Baptiste Chirot lays the smackdown on Kenny Goldsmith:

The underlying theme of Mr. G’s “avantism” then is not to do with ideas, with actual works, or with any kind of confrontation with emptiness’s of many kinds al around one. On the contrary, what Mr. G stands for is a well fed and tenured elite of “avantists” who need to do nothing more than announce that they’re “avantists” and manifest this in the differences between their books sales and lecture fees and those of the Mainstream Poets, themselves many of them also funded by the same sources as the “avantists.”

More smackdown here.
