"I keep submitting my work to McSweeney's and Dave Eggers keeps personally rejecting my submission with really cruel criticism. He keeps telling me my work is 'racist,' 'not funny,' and that it 'wouldn't even make a good imageboard OP, let alone work in my illustrious journal.'"

"Every time I see a book of his mentioned, or see his face, I have a visceral feeling of revulsion. What little I've read of his writing seemed so pat, saccharine and self-satisfied, that coupled with his smugness and the golden boy treatment he receives from decidedly philistine literary journalists"

"What little I've read of his writing seemed so pat, saccharine and self-satisfied, that coupled with his smugness and the golden boy treatment he receives from decidedly philistine literary journalists, I am just put off completely by his whole enterprise."
