Writing a book review and publishing it online is an interesting thing. What if you are wrong? What if your interpretation is foolish?
Two things:
- There was some similar discourse recently going around Twitter (or X, the everything app), discussing how rich people in Silicon Valley will not put up art in their house because they are afraid they will do it badly. How painful it must be to live a life afraid to furnish it with art!
- Henrik Karlsson’s wife became his wife, among other reasons, because he wrote and published a bad review about T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land
Of course, this is not really just about book reviews.
Check out the new section to my site, where I’ll post some of the things I’ve read recently, and sometimes share my thoughts on them.
