Over 175 attacks were quoted in a little book that itself became a best-selling classic. Today much has changed. The rise of digital self-publishing has fired up hundreds of critical blogs. As the cliché has it everybody is a critic – and they’re often anonymous and far from nice.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis collection, with a new introduction, by Pushcart editor Bill Henderson includes gems like:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“The final blow-up of what was once a remarkable, if minor. talent.” (\u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, 1936, on William Faulkner’s \u003ci\u003eAbsalom, Absalom!\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“Diffuse…brackish…pretentious.” (Virginia Wolfe, 1922, on James Joyce’s \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“Whitman is as unacquainted with art as a hog is with mathematics.” (\u003ci\u003eThe London Critic\u003c\/i\u003e, 1855, on Walt Whitman’s \u003ci\u003eLeaves of Grass\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“It gasps for want of craft and sensibility.” (\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e, 1961, on Joseph Heller’s \u003ci\u003eCatch-22\u003c\/i\u003e)\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBill Henderson\u003c\/b\u003e is the founder and editor of the Pushcart Prize.
