Subject: Critics have 2 choices

Vicente Luis Mora about critics:

If a book contains epistemes one is ignorant about (medicine in Martín 
Santos, technology in Gibson or Pynchon, philosophy in Musil, oriental 
aesthetics in Valente, Maillard or Aguado) a critic has two choices: either 
to shut up or acquire the minimum of knowledge before passing judgement.


'Si el libro plantea epistemes que uno desconoce (medicina en Martín Santos,

tecnología en Gibson o Pynchon, filosofía en Musil, estética oriental en 
Valente, Maillard o Aguado), el crítico tiene dos opciones: callarse o 
adquirir un mínimo saber antes de emitir juicio al respecto.'
