You're talking about something slightly different than the article. What you're talking about might more precisely be directed at something like a creative writing program. What the article's author is discussing is, in layman's terms, the profession of being an analyst-, or the profession of giving "critique"-, of creative writers.
- mcguire 8y agoNo, I think it's exactly right. The "destruction" the author describes is the cause of the inwardness and nearsightedness that makes much of it useless.
- Eliezer 8y agoIt's a bad sign if all the creative writers with external viability think the MLA obviously has no expertise on the underlying structure of books. I can imagine an art of critiquing proofs, but I'd expect it to be headed up by professional mathematicians or at least be in good standing with them.
