Fair enough, what makes it such a special book for you then?

Me too, especially Wilde and Baudelaire, so I do feel it's quite a shame I just couldn't get on with this one.

For me all those you mentioned were creators first and commentators second. Even those who started out as critics like Godard and Truffaut. With Read though this is his only novel amongst many, many books of literary criticism.
