This review is written in the style of "Books that are not politically correct anymore."


Good summary. Nothing factual to see here, just another identity politic screed about books this individual either disagrees with or has never read.

I'm not even sure about the premise of the article. Using the editorial "we", the author projects that no self-respecting reader today could possibly imagine why books written decades ago might have been popular. Strange.
