Michael's Friend Comments

Interesting piece in the Atlantic about book reviewing and its purposes.

It doesn’t have to be a despicable exercise. In fact, it could be entering a golden age with the rebirth of “creative criticism,” a mix of cultural analysis and personal reaction as practised by Geoff Dyer (who is not American, coming from Cheltenham though not a chav) and Nicholson Baker. Maybe Goodreads could split its reviews into two kinds, one buy-this, don’t-buy-that quickies and the other longer, thoughtful pieces.

Thank you for your kind comments, Michael - they really are appreciated. And delighted that you're enjoying the book.

Thank you for the friendship request!
