Reviewing art, says Joanna Mendelssohn, is like taking apart a clock - the pieces don’t always fit back together. For film critic Sandra Hall you start by stumbling in the dark. In these eight frank confessions by eight prizewinning Australian arts journalists, we gain a unique insight, not only into their way of thinking but into how contrary are the world they inhabit. Alan Saunders says restaurant critics are ‘furtive creatures, who make bookings under assumed names’ while John McCallum sees the critic as a ridiculous figure, plodding after butterflies in a floppy hat. Other contributors include Marion Halligan, Cyrus Meher-Homji, Roger Covell and Bruce Elder, all past winners of the Pascall Prize for Criticism.
