Post Criticism: An Apology 

If this is an example of creative criticism, then it seems one of its defining features is talking (writing) around the text, leaving it out or displacing it entirely. I like some of Felski's takes on post-criticism, but this example of post-criticism seems to have no objective other than to evade or miss the text, and rather focus on the critic-without-a-text, the critic-as-pseudo-artist or lost literary wanderer.

If criticism can be stretched and seen as art and the critic hoping to be an artist, can we see art as originally a criticism of reality that now came to be seen as art just as we now come to see criticism as an art. In a way then reality is the true art, the object of criticism (conventional art) and criticism a means to make real what is fictional and add it to the true art that is reality.
