Kakutanian

Congratulations to Michiko Kakutani for using—effectively, I guess—the adjectives Stygian, Darwinian and Hobbesian in the same concluding paragraph of today's New York Times book review. Points off for capitalizing "Stygian", though, which most would not do.

And, frankly, points off for not also throwing "Plutonian" into the mix.
