Zooming In: Lethal beauty or uncalled-for cruelty? - a chat with Yahaira about negative book reviews
Critics are getting less cruel. Alas: economist.com/culture/2023/07/21/critics-are-getting-less-cruel-alas
Zooming In is a new occasional series on my channel featuring chats with bookish social media luminaries, writers, and readers. Each short episode features a conversation about a book-related article, podcast episode, etc. The playlist of all Zooming In episodes is here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLU-61cZp1pQfTh913NXVUFqKCzGlTh8Ez.
