“The vast majority of ‘critics’ in this country are reviewers, and that’s not because they don’t have hands-on experience in the discipline they’re reviewing, it’s because they rarely have the depth and breadth of knowledge - in theories of criticism, let alone the discipline under review - required.”
that sounds a bit hierarchical to be honest. I barely agree with any critics but far be it from me or anyone else to say they aren’t critics.
a 7 year old child denouncing something is a critic. long may it be thus.
