Columnists and critics face the writer life in public
A fragment from a columnist observes that most writers and especially columnists entertain and lightly engage with life, drink, and public attention. It notes the lack of far reaching literary value and judges columnists as mostly pleasant personalities who perform light, forgettable work. The piece references George Mc Coban and public tastemaking, ending with a critique of the columnists’ role in newspapers.
