This was so great until the truly tedious bit on Zoe Leonard’s incredible piece.

Would I consider myself a literary person, no.. Do I enjoy learning about the subject, different pieces of work and those who critique, absolutely! I enjoy the back and fourth between Merve and her guest. I enjoy the entire process and have actually purchased more than one book either...Read full review »

I really appreciate the idea of this show and I do enjoy reading Emre’s writing.

I love this! Who knew criticism could be so lively, so joyous? Together the two speakers generate a thought world of astonishing vividness and precision.
