Looking at the GQ article referred to, one of the things that’s abundantly clear to me is that many of the critics of the GQ article did not read the GQ article.
So this is a person who didn't get Huckleberry Finn, then. I can see why people are upset when you take a famous book and then completely miss the point of it.
The premise of the list is fine, but the person writing about it is a moron.
That's pretty common, it hardly seems worth getting upset about. My favorite example: Foucault's Pendulum—the person writing the summary on the back of the book clearly misunderstood what was going on in the book. I still laugh every time I read it.
