... allows us to account for the fact that Holling- hurst doesn’t intend simply to be impressionistic in the manner for which Matz takes Cunningham to task. Instead he adopts but also revivifies key aspects of fictional Impressionism as they inform rhetorical and structural aspects of his own...

... beyond the words, the humorous obtrusion of its mannered language, and the unwanted foregrounding of form, may compromise the most religiously serious, mystically revelatory passages.
