Another writer says SK isn't literary

The Los Angeles Review of Books this week published an article by a guy who read Christine and 11/22/63, pretty much hated both, and has therefore decided SK shouldn't be considered "literary".  The majority of commenters seem to think the writer's just jealous.  I only skimmed the article; if you want the read the whole 4600+ words, here it is.

This would probably be the type of guy who would say Shakespeare and Dickens were hacks if he were living in their times.
