“While reviewing generally is not very reliable anywhere, I really think that English reviewing is getting absurd. There are far, far too many novelists reviewing other novelists, There is far too much consideration for books that are obviously going to get nowhere, and far too little understanding of what it is in books that makes people read them.”
-Raymond Chandler, letter to Jamie Hamilton, 11/11/1949.
