If you are holding 'The Imperial Agent' against him then in all fairness
you have to count 'The Mandala of Sherlock Holmes' in his favour and
that balances things out.
I will forever hold “The White Man's Burden” against him ever since that
time in an honours English class when a classmate was ordered to read it
aloud and he read:
And when your goal is nearest
The end for others sought,
Watch Sloth and Heather's Folly
Bring all your hope to nought.
