- nradov 9mo agoI never understood this concern about the death of literary criticism. So what. Regular books (not textbooks) are so cheap now that for most middle-class consumers if we accidentally buy a crappy one it's no great loss. And if we want to discuss it with others there are plenty of book clubs and online forums for that. We don't need some anointed critic to tell us what to think.
