I read the article, andrewfinr. It seems like a serious attempt to inform us about the humanity and abilities of Robert Burrows. The reason it tends more towards clickbait than necessary is obvious from the headline: What I Learned From the Worst Novelist in the English Language If the article was more of an attempt to rehabilitate Robert Burrows, who the author visited on his death bed to get the story, the headline might more candidly have been written as: What I Learned From the "Worst Novelist in the English Language" Swanson does encapsulate the insult in inverted commas, but not until para 19, when he writes: There was something regal, something monumental, in his bearing, and though I knew otherwise, I found myself thinking, “There he is. The worst novelist in the English language.” Was it really necessary, or beneficial to share that thought, if the point of the article is to debunk the insult?
