Has anyone else written with such panache and blindsiding humor about cinema (“it is what is good about [Dog Day Afternoon] that is bad about it, and what is bad about it that is on the contrary rather good in many ways”), the textures of consumer life (“marbled by the worst kind of junk-language, such as ‘life-style’ or ‘sexual preference’”), government (“the bureaucracies . . . cannot be called upon as an independent force, any more than a garage band could be installed to run a ministry of culture”), and even Trump himself (“Maoism was an attack by the leader of the Communist Party, from the outside, against his own institution . . . that’s exactly what our forty-fifth president did, and if you want to consider him a follower of Mao, that would be very interesting”)?
