literature is made of language, not what the language gestures towards. words -- words, words, words -- separate literature from music, from visual arts, from theatre and dance. good writers and good readers ought to care about finely balanced sentences. they literally make up the art form. dunking on people for caring about prose is a bit like dunking on a musician for caring about technique, or like dunking on a ballet dancer for caring about grace/fluidity.
