Death of the critic?

ON CRITICISM

Ronan McDonald, senior lecturer in Modern English Literature at Reading University and author of the provocatively titled The Death of the Critic (Continuum), talks to Aleks Sierz about recent trends in journalistic criticism – and in academic theory. Recorded at Dewynters, London.

It seems to me that culture works best when literary reviewing and academic criticism come together and crossover.
