Michael Moynihan has the same reaction to Wolfe’s “review” that I did. I also thought that it was odd of Wolfe to complain that Sowell writes without joy. First of all, not everything worth writing should be written joyfully. Second, it seems to me far more important that the words written be capable of being read joyfully — and everything I have read from Wolfe has been notably joyless. It is at least a comfort to know that he derives pleasure from it.
