The Politics of Book Reviewing

Would love to be in attendance for this:

National Book Critics Circle hosts panel discussion on book reviewing and politics on Friday, March 18th, 2005

"Art Winslow will moderate 'Ax-Grinders, Score-Settlers and Pattycake: The Politics of Reviewing, and The Reviewing of Politics,' a conversation about how American political discourse influences criticism -- what books are assigned, how they are reviewed, who reviews them, how they operate as a Doppler wave to the much faster 24-hour news cycle -- and how criticism influences political discourse in return."
