Sometimes I shouldn't use words

I didn't like Marina's article, it smelt too much like "Nostalgia ain't what it used to be" (I guess it's more like "The children of this generation won't have nostalgia as good as we get"). I think physicality and smells are important components of what become nostalgic memories, but I don't see the relationship between that and being immersed in the world of the text, bluntly.
