In his reading of The Moviegoer, Mr. Giraldi completely ignores one of its most important thematic threads, i.e. Binx's intuition of his "Jewishness" as a "clue" to his deepest identity, and where that clue leads him in the novel.  Giraldi's simplified interpretation is a serious misreading of the novel (for his own purposes, I suppose).

I wonder, would Mr. Desmond care to expand on this for us?
Every time I think I understand something in Percy, someone says something and I think I understand nothing.
