Critic’s critics

With apologies to Jeff Jarvis, I could think of nothing else to title what is merely a link to better writing than mine. Jeff links today to another piece on the life of the critic in the age of social media, a topic he covers with some frequency. Today he links to a delightful column by the Guardian’s entertainment critic Dorian Lynskey; its popularity (see the comments) proof, perhaps, to a point that Lynskey himself makes: writing matters.
