"If book blurb writers had any sense," writes Terry Freedman, "they wouldn't put wordy descriptions on the back cover of books. They would put a graph there instead.' I'm honestly not sure whether this post is serious or satire, but it doesn't really matter, because the idea of using graphs instead of text for literary criticism is satisfying either way. "Good solid numbers, and a graph to boot. If one carried on applying this approach to the whole book, and taking into consideration more criteria, you would be able to see the shape of the entire narrative at a glance."
