New York Observer on Gladwell. While I have sympathy for attacks on Gladwell, this article was too confusing to be scathing. I guess that’s what you open yourself up to the when writing an attack piece on writing (or even blogging about a writing attack on writing).
I’ve read Blink and have The Tipping Point and here’s what I think about him: not really sure. Some of his writing is really crafy and interesting–some of it just irks like manipulation. The article does put the kibosh on Gladwell and makes the reader feel like Gladwell is a bit dodgy.
End.
