The definition of guilty pleasure
I agree with all of the criticisms and all of the praise. I think the author is fully aware that she is crossing the lines into the sleazy, the vapid, the inappropriate, and deliberately recreating the kind of gossipy voice that she attributes to the Bennington undergrad of the day—an obnoxious voice, certainly, but one that is also strangely compelling and hard to stop listening to. I’m not sure if I violate the golden rule by listening— if I were in Donna Tartt’s shoes, how would I feel about this, really? I think I would be horrified and appalled, but also possibly a bit amused and entertained. If Anolik is a competent guide to the spirit of 1980s Bennington, then one could view this as the ultimate Bennington style tribute.
