In this episode of the Short Fuse, Elizabeth Howard is in conversation with Ann Kjellberg around reading and the importance of literary criticism and commentary. Ann is the founder of Book Post, a newsletter-based book review that publishes short book reviews by distinguished figures in literature, history, science, social sciences, and the arts. "To me the importance of literary criticism is to have magnitude of thought, sustained reflection and a kind of demonstrable argument. This is why I'm interested in book reviews, because commentary is a way of connecting written culture with something that is enduring." Ann Kjellberg
