Avant-Garde Classics
29 February 2024
Because some authors couldn't imagine what might be unacceptable

a century later, certain classics need to be rewritten for current

consumption. This I have done, initially with a retitling that I think more

accurately defines its subject. Anybody misreading the following text,

anybody seeing words that aren't there, should be socially ostracized,

if not treated for dementia. One stylistic departure to appreciate is his

decision to eliminate quotation marks. (At least one commentator credits

Van Vechten with completely eschewing italics, but their occasional

appearance in the text itself refutes this claim.)
