Dipping into a little of my other-group secret identities, here:
Seeing the "Golden Compass" movie trailer online this week reminds me of
the time I'd tried to invoke a basic layman's definition of NPD-writing
into explaining on rec.books.childrens why I couldn't STAND Philip
Pullman's books:

...Now, keep in mind, I was only theorizing at the time, without the
benefit of actual *admitted* loonies' writing to draw from--
But just for the sake of comparison, how did the diagnosis stack up?: Did
I hit pretty close to the mark?
I haven't read Phillip Pullman's books, so I'll take your word for it. One
novelist that I would definitely diagnose with NPD is L. Ron Hubbard. His
symptoms were evident decades before "Battlefield Earth".
