The revival of a nasty bestseller! A quarter century ago Pushcart Press took aim at ridiculous reviews that had trashed literary masterpieces through the centuries. Over 175 attacks were quoted in a little book that itself became a bestselling classic. Today much has changed. The rise of digital selfpublishing has fired up hundreds of critical blogs. As the clich has it everybody is a critic and theyre often anonymous and far from nice.This collection, with a new introduction, by Pushcart editor Bill Henderson includes gems like:The final blowup of what was once a remarkable, if minor. talent. (The New Yorker, 1936, on William Faulkners Absalom, Absalom!)Diffusebrackishpretentious. (Virginia Wolfe, 1922, on James Joyces Ulysses)Whitman is as unacquainted with art as a hog is with mathematics. (The London Critic, 1855, on Walt Whitmans Leaves of Grass)It gasps for want of craft and sensibility. (New York Times Book Review, 1961, on Joseph Hellers Catch22) Illustrations
