Kelley notes:
> That essay was just idiotic.
Agreed.
> As I said at the outset: what use is this essay? Of
what practical, political use is it?
None, but then it was never intended to have any practical effect.
When writing on "Aguirre the Wrath of God" by Werner Herzog and "Lancelot du Lac" by Robert Bresson, the great French film critic Oudart noted that each was a film that allowed the bourgeoisie to admire its beautiful corpse in a mirror. This essay is just a literary example of the same thing.
