I remember there's a parody of him in that collection he's crabbing about. The putative byline on the story was "By James Gould Cozened," as I recall.

Did you ever read Nelson Algren's savage attack on MacDonald -- "a domesticated peacock" -- for his criticisms of Hemingway after the latter's death?

I haven't read that, would like to.

Macdonald was great, he could really write a demolition when he wanted to (ie: his pieces on McLuhan or Tom Wolfe). I wish more of his work was in print

The last one is especially weird, since it seems to suggest Dwight Macdonald was Jewish.

That's a devastating review but it's kind of funny that MacDonald didn't realize that Cozzen's pastiche of Victorian prose was intentional.
