Sprezzatura, please tell Lee Siegel to ingratiate hiself with people who can hire him to write reviews that I would pay to read. I want to resume financing his colicky kid’s collage fund.

(Typo above. That should read: “no more, no less”.)

One of the best expressions of the meaning of “sprezzatura” was a “Grook” (short poem with drawing) by Piet Hein:

There is one art,
no more, nor less:
to do all things
with artlessness.

Unfortunately, Lee Siegel tried to be too artful by half.

Posing as the great Lee Siegel’s editor posing as Lee Siegel being Lee Siegel or…never mind.

Schadenfreude wasn’t good enough for you and you had to gin up this salt in the wound, punch him in the new tattoo, grind his face in the dirt site. All I can say to you is, “go for it!”
