French Literature - Literary Criticism

Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or criticism:

“Humorists can never start to take themselves seriously. It’s literary suicide.”
—Erma Bombeck (b. 1927)

“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
