[Let it rip here]
Here is a section from DeCarlo to prime the pump:
"It may be so hard to know what TSZ is for, and so easy simply to plunder it unsystematically,
because the work is in large part a failure. TSZ echoes Romantic
attempts at created mythologies, such as William Blake’s, as well as
Wagner’s attempt to re-work Teutonicmyth, but it remains so sui generis
and unclassifiable that it resists even the broadest sort of category and
does not itself instruct us, at least not very clearly or very well, about
how to read it. That it is both a tragedy and a parody helps little with
the details. Large stretches of it seem ponderous and turgid, mysteriously
abandoning Nietzsche’s characteristic light touch and pithy wit."
