smart criticism mediocre narration

great essays especially on Mapplethorpe, Henry James, and Nabokov...But the narration is stilted and lacking (and some flubs on pronunciation)

No chapter headings make it an editorial mess

I despise this about audible editions. There are no chapter headings for any chapters. This is infuriating and an editorial stupidity! Why do publishers do this?
