No, it is not; nor of a prose genius either. It's very ornate imaginative writing and it certainly has some fine moments, but like so much of DT, it is too fancy, too fanciful, over-
written and overripe. Compare one of these drunken sentences with, say, this one from the Bible: "Jesus wept." Or this one: "And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked." Or these: "Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past...and Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord in Gilgal."
