The novelist's art (article)
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/8343461/The-Naive-and-the-Sentimental-Novelist-by-Orhan-Pamuk-review.html
The book might be jargon-free, but the review isn't - eg fabula and sujet, narremes ..

Isn't this the point the reviewer is trying to make ? That is, that literary theory in the late 20th century was "turned into a pseudo-science." In layman's terms, they used unnecessary BIG WORDS that no one really understood, but pretended that they did.
Agree pbw. Journalism appears to be "going to the dogs" :) :)
