> Literary critics occasionally practice an aphoristic little art form without a name, one that captures in vivid analogies the distinctive architecture or choreography of a writer’s sentences.

Whatever the case, these figurative sketches are always illuminating, and they provide a small literary pleasure of their own along the way.
