i think this person is female, but who knows.
and the name is super jap, but writes for american publications. i think s/he hates bret easton ellis if that helps at all.

second, is there an archive of reviews by this person? although with the name, i can google that for myself. but if you have a good link on hand anyway....

Assuming you mean Japanese and not Jewish American Princess, I'm guessing it's:
Michiko Kakutani

There is now no relationship between us and I find your contortions merely embarrassing.

yes, that's her.
