cathyparkhong.bsky.social @cathyparkhong.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Art and book criticism is a dying genre. Without it, great art will suffer since it will be buried by flavorless frictionless products favored by algorithms. There needs to be more support and outlets for criticism obviously but PhD and MFA programs too could do more to teach and support criticism. 161
cathyparkhong.bsky.social @cathyparkhong.bsky.social · 26/11/2025Critics should be the arbiters of taste. But @nyt book review prefers to follow the hype, i.e. its 100 notable book list that has Hunger Games as one of this year's best. Depressing that books sections pander to popularity rather than doing their job and finding books that fly under the radar. 050
