Apologia pro vita sua …

 Critics & criticism by John Simon | The New Criterion.  (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

I have always inveighed against the bleary journalism practiced by newspaper reviewers, as opposed to the real criticism performed by, well, critics. 
Well, I guess I fall into the former category.
