Fire The Bastards! by Jack Green
A blistering, sardonic audit of midcentury book reviewing, this polemic compiles columns that expose critics’ factual errors, misreadings, logrolling, and herd mentality in their responses to a demanding postwar novel. Through close comparisons, statistics, and satire, it reveals systemic sloppiness in the literary press and calls for higher standards, accountability, and reader skepticism toward critical authority.
