Some Words

I keep The Valve on my RSS feed, and sometimes I’m sorely tempted to just take it off the list. It’s not that it never has anything interesting to say, indeed it catches my attention at least once every day or two. But there are some decidedly frustrating aspects of it, like the titles of the damn posts, which I think I’ve griped about in the past.

This may be part of why I loved this post by one Scott Eric Kaufman. It’s pointed out in the comments that this has already been done to death, but it was a great post anyway. It seems n+1 ruffled some feathers by saying that blogs are a troublesome medium for criticism, which seems a bit obvious, given how quickly topics get old in blog land. Others did not seem to think it so.

Bonus: Contains the quoted phrase “I shit on Dante.”

All around just a fun summation of lit crits and would be lit crits being really catty with each other.
