In pomo and critical theory style writing, when imaginative seeing, precise language, and fertile topic blend properly, you get genuinely enlightening writing unlike anything ever written before 1950. It’s like next-level alien poetry. Sadly that’s like 5% of it at best.

Yesterday I happened to reread Spivak’s “Can the Subaltern Speak” — which presumably is a (if not THE) paradigmatic example of the sort of high-quality critical theory writing you’re alluding to — and boy let me tell you, there are some absolutely *diabolical* sentences in there.
