“Real creativity … and real criticism share something that cuts to the heart of why art and literature matter to us: they are dynamic dialogues with what we’ve done before and what we will make in – and of – the future. As Oscar Wilde puts it: ‘Surely, criticism is itself an art … Criticism is, in fact both creative and independent … The antithesis between them is entirely arbitrary. Without the critical faculty, there is no artistic creation at all, worthy of the name.'”
