Better Living Through Criticism: How to Think About Art, Pleasure, Beauty, and Truth by A.O. Scott. 2016. Penguin Press: New York.

I want to share this book with all of you for a number of reasons.

First, because critical thinking informs almost every aspect of artistic creation, of civil action, and interpersonal life.

Second, in the words of the author, ” . . . real criticism was and always will be the breath of fresh air that allows true creativity to thrive.”
