Ajami has always been a harsh vivisectionist of Arab pathologies, and especially when the Arabs in question are Sunni. |
I am in favor of vivisection unrestrained, so long as the vivisectionist knows what he is about. |
One senses the strain by which the vivisectionist is exaggerated almost to the point of caricature. |
Martin Amis is at his most compelling as a satiric vivisectionist with a cool eye and an unwavering scalpel. |
And in the half of him that consented lurked the vivisectionist that is in all of us. |
The vivisectionist, for the sake of doing something that may or may not be useful, does something that certainly is horrible. |
