Why not a fan of Trilling? I feel like he's too cautious and hedged, that he confuses muddle for wisdom. I prefer criticism that is bolder -- say Kenner, Davenport, Sontag or Kael.

This makes so much sense—if any critic had the voice of interior monologue (sans Austen’s wit), it is Trilling. The Middle of the Journey is kind of his inert novelistic expression.
