Parker portrays the frequent collaboration with the latter (highly acclaimed, at the time) as more emotionally crucial to Auden than to Isherwood.
Isherwood's later memoirs, to which Parker attributes a role in the gay liberation movement, receive the same insightful critical attention from Parker (biographer of J. Ackerley) as Isherwood's early work.
When it comes to trying to evaluate the benefits to Isherwood from his 40 year practice of Vedanta, Parker is really out of his depth; his neo-Christian blinkers narrow his vision to the point where he can't even see what he is looking at.

Peter Parker carries the scars of Gwen's death to this day, but with the death of the Green Goblin the "Spider-Man" comic had killed off its prime villain, something that as a general rule comic books try to avoid doing.
However Jenkins is also trying to make this more a contest between Norman Osborn and Peter Parker, which means it is more of a psychological duel for most of the story.
In this story, Peter Parker feels that he has hit bottom - his marriage to MJ is on the rocks, the death of Gwen Stacy still haunts him, and his life has turned out worse than he could ever have imagined.

 Peter Parker, Spider-Man #46 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
As the battle between these two old enemies erupts we see Peter is splashed in the eyes by chemicals, and this acts to temporarily blind him.
This issue also nicely plays up the idea that Norman's one of the few villains who knows Peter's secret & almost takes a perverse pleasure in interacting with Peter when both of them are in their civilian identities.
I mean take the scene where Norman & Peter meet in the school, and the two nearly come to blows while Peter's principal unknowingly tries to play the peacemaker between these two men.
