Wieseltier's reaction was the worst, somewhat akin to his frantic, ill-informed denunciation of the essay by Lionel Trilling's son in a recent issue of the American Scholar .)
In a long review-essay, Wieseltier demolished West's stature as a "public intellectual," portraying him as a pretentious egomaniac, a mass of contradictions, and a superficial thinker who dresses up diluted Marxism in incomprehensible phraseology.
This is much more than can be said for Wieseltier, hence the venom of his essay.
Wieseltier's 1995 essay on "the decline of the black intellectual" wasn't really the "devastating critique" of West's work that Weisberg once took it to be, and it's relatively good to hear that although Weisberg had hitherto set his lights by it, he no longer agrees with Wieseltier's conclusion that West's work is "almost entirely worthless."
The truth is that Wieseltier's piece was a shameful, spite-ridden hatchet job on West, motivated almost entirely by the fact that West had been profiled in The New Yorker in 1994 and then assessed (along with lesser lights bell hooks and Michael Dyson) by me in a January 1995 essay that likened contemporary black intellectuals to the New York intellectuals of the postwar period.
