"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet
enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves
to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to
write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that
in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably
more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are
times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the
discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new
talent, new creations, the new needs friends...."
--Anton Ego (2007)
