An inside look at the politics of book reviewing, from the assignment and writing of reviews to why critics think we should listen to what they have to say Taking readers behind the scenes in the world of fiction reviewing, Inside the Critics’ Circle explores the ways critics evaluate books despite the inherent subjectivity involved and the uncertainties of reviewing when seemingly anyone can be a reviewer. Drawing on interviews with critics from such venues as the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Washington Post, Phillipa Chong delves into the complexities of the review-writing process, including the considerations, values, and cultural and personal anxieties that shape what critics do. Chong explores how critics are paired with review assignments, why they accept these time-consuming projects, how they view their own qualifications for reviewing certain books, and the criteria they employ when making literary judgments. She discovers that while their readers are of concern to reviewers, they are especially worried about authors on the receiving end of reviews. As these are most likely peers who will be returning similar favors in the future, critics’ fears and frustrations factor into their willingness or reluctance to write negative reviews. At a time when traditional review opportunities are dwindling while other forms of reviewing thrive, book reviewing as a professional practice is being brought into question. Inside the Critics’ Circle offers readers a revealing look into critics’ responses to these massive transitions and how, through their efforts, literary values get made.

Critics, Ratings, and Society is the first comprehensive study of the review as social institution. Its theories and data encompass reviews of all types of products--including the arts (e.g. theater, books, and music) and consumer products (e.g. cars, software, and appliances). According to Blank, the core problem of reviews is credibility. Concerns about credibility organize the formulation of reviews and audiences. The connoisseurial-procedural distinction describes the production of credibility and its assessment under different types of rating systems.

Few could explain, let alone seek out, a career in criticism. Yet what A. O. Scott shows in Better Living Through Criticism is that we are, in fact, all critics: because critical thinking informs almost every aspect of artistic creation, of civil action, of interpersonal life. With penetrating insight and humour, Scott shows that while individual critics – himself included – can make mistakes and find flaws where they shouldn't, criticism as a discipline is one of the noblest, most creative and urgent activities. Using his own film criticism as a starting point – everything from an infamous dismissal of the international blockbuster The Avengers to his intense affection for Pixar's animated Ratatouille – Scott expands outwards, easily guiding readers through the complexities of Rilke and Shelley, the origins of Chuck Berry and the Rolling Stones, the power of Marina Abramovic and 'Ode on a Grecian Urn' Scott shows that real criticism was and always will be the breath of fresh air that allows true creativity to thrive. As he puts it: ‘The time for criticism is always now, because the imperative to think clearly, never goes away.’

From New York Times bestselling author Clare Mackintosh comes a deeply moving and page-turning novel about an impossible choice—and the two paths fate could take. “A beautifully written novel, compelling and clever, tender and true. I can’t stop thinking about it.”—Liane Moriarty “Tailor-made for book clubs and for fans of Jodi Picoult.”—Publishers Weekly Max and Pip are the strongest couple you know. They're best friends, lovers—unshakable. But then their son gets sick and the doctors put the question of his survival into their hands. For the first time, Max and Pip can't agree. They each want a different future for their son. What if they could have both? A gripping and propulsive exploration of love, marriage, parenthood, and the road not taken, After the End brings one unforgettable family from unimaginable loss to a surprising, satisfying, and redemptive ending and the life they are fated to find. With the emotional power of Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper, Mackintosh helps us to see that sometimes the end is just another beginning.

To review, within short compass, a review of a generation of reviewers is a perplexing task. One can, of course, touch only upon a few of the thousand-and-one disputable questions- literary, ethical, historical, and psychological -- raised by Mr. Hall Caine in the course of his criticism of the critics. And before losing ourselves in details it may he well, in order to do Mr. Caine justice, to acknowledge that he has produced a very interesting and suggestive book, rendered all the more so by his free and discursive treatment of the subject. Reading it is like enjoying a talk with a man thoroughly familiar with poetry and critical theories, with a living interest in poets and critics, boiling over with views of his own about them and their works, eager and indefatigable in discussion. This book of Mr. Caine's, in fact, is just the sort of book that two Professors of English Literature might choose if they were condemned to be left alone with one book on a desert island; economically used, it might keep them in argument for several years. They would not agree with everything that Mr. Caine says; what critic would agree with everything that another critic says. There would be no joy in the art if it led to fixed and unalterable conclusions. But they would find Mr. Caine's opinions worth discussing in themselves, and suggestive of excellent questions for free intellectual play. The worst part of the book is the author's apology for writing it, and for reviving the half-forgotten slanders and stupidities of some of the first reviewers of Wordsworth, Southey, Coleridge, Byron, Leigh Hunt, Keats, and Shelley. Mr. Caine should have frankly confessed that he took an interest in them, without assigning any reasons, and that the statement of them furnished an interesting introduction and background to the presentation of his own opinions. If he had done this he would have been on safe and unassailable ground. But when he claims high moral objects for the resurrection, and sets forth the benefits to be derived from it by poets and critics- consolations for the one class and awful examples for the other-his justification of himself is overstrained and artificial. The passages reproduced from old reviews form, in truth, a comparatively small part of the book; Mr. Caine's own comments and counter-criticisms occupy more space and are at least equally interesting. -The Academy and Literature, Volume 24 [1883]
