Bob Hoover at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Pokes at Wood

This is a delightful piece by Post-Gazette writer Bob Hoover, in which he wonders, with no small degree of sarcasm, whether he shouldn't perhaps re-evaluate his positive views of Powers's writing given the attack by James Wood in the New Yorker on the author's latest work, and indeed, on his entire body of work.

Where had we all gone wrong, I wondered. How valuable would it be for the critics and their readers to re-evaluate "Generosity" in light of Wood's criticism, because he is the "greatest literary critic"?
