The truth about the McSweeney’s Gang is that none of them is is very bright. Their ideas about literature are backward. Their intellectual capabilities are missing. Their best advocates, allies like Tom Bissell and Jonathan Lethem, are terrified at the prospect of engaging a smart opponent in debate. Their leaders, Dave Eggers, Heidi Julavits and Company, exist behind a smokescreen of pose and affirmation. The entire structure is bluff.
