Comments on: So I wasn’t hallucinating: Michi Kakutani’s favorite adjective http://kurtandersen.com/blogwp/2007/09/13/so-i-wasnt-hallucinating-michi-kakutanis-favorite-adjective/ Just another WordPress weblog Mon, 26 May 2008 00:46:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jason http://kurtandersen.com/blogwp/2007/09/13/so-i-wasnt-hallucinating-michi-kakutanis-favorite-adjective/comment-page-1/#comment-272 Jason Thu, 01 Nov 2007 00:26:07 +0000 http://kurtandersen.com/blogwp/?p=20#comment-272 I don’t think this worked the first time I tried to post… so here we go again.

Interesting, critiquing the “tics” of Kakutani is becoming popular—that is, you are the second writer that I know of to inspect her peculiar word favorites. The first time was for the word “limn.” In fact, it was in NY Mag, which I see you’re familiar with, picking Winner of the National Book Award as an underrated novel. Anyway, Matt Gross wrote the article in November of 2002.

Less important, but someone wrote in her defense (haha?): http://www.mobylives.com/Limning_Kakutani.html

The first was in 1992 for “limn.” Check it out.

Think how quickly you'd tire of reading that one. I suppose there are worse words and phrases to fixate on…’hapless boob,’ for example. Think how quickly you’d tire of reading that one.
