So Meta

It goes like this. Richard Price has written Lush Life, a mystery of the type known in the genre as a "police procedural." Then Sam Anderson wrote a review of said novel in New York magazine which is itself a pastiche of the novel's tone. And finally, a web denizen who goes by "Ricardo5" has posted a comment about Anderson's review, denying that he hates hipsters.

Is this Web 2.0--authors and reviewers duking it out while we all watch on the internets? You decide.--David E
