and more than made up for her current lack of trenchant social 
criticism by entertaining us all with wallpaper descriptions.

I won't ask whether you've ever read "The Yellow Wallpaper," 
Elkins, because you've read everything, or at least everything that 
qualifies as trenchant social criticism.  But is anyone else out 
there worried that Elkins is going to start imagining a woman 
trapped under the wallpaper, trying in vain to clip through the 
wisteria or lilacs or whatever they are?  A woman who has been 
cruelly kept away from her internet access by a blandly 
patronizing world?
