The book reviewer’s temptation
I liked this quote from Richard Brookhiser on the book reviewer’s temptation to stray from the subject:
It is a temptation that book reviewers must guard against—and will often succumb to anyway. The Great Gatsby and the Declaration of Independence are about the same thing, more or less (the pursuit of happiness), but they are very different works, and neither should be faulted for not being the other.
Worth thinking about for my next review …
