Who the Heck Does John D'Agata Think He Is?!

Here's a little write up on "Round Trip" and John D'Agata, apologist numero uno for Ye Olde Lyric Essay in contemporary American belles lettres. Here's something on what he thinks a lyric essay is. (Money quote: "It's art, so stop calling it nonfiction.")

By the by: Tell me he doesn't look at least a little like he might be Vincent D'Onofrio's long-lost younger brother (and they both do that little D' thing with their last names, so I think that means they must be related or something. D' = Italian for "long-lost brother")...
