On reviews

Posted byPearl October 15, 2022December 6, 2022

About a month ago at periodicities, Phil Hall mused on reviews,

“the absence of negative reviews might be why we are coming to have no reviews at all… What if I wrote one generic blurb with blank spaces for each new author’s name and book title—this would undermine the intent of having a blurb on a book.”

Worth reading it in whole, folks.
