IL-KRITIKU GĦAL MIN QED JIKTEB? L-AWTUR, IL-PUBBLIKATUR, IL-QARREJ, JEW LIS-SETTUR LETTERARJU SĦIĦ?

Għal min qed tikteb il-kritika? Għall-awtur li xogħlu qed jiġi kkritikat? Għall-pubblikatur? Għall-qarrej? Jew għas-settur letterarju kollu?

U jekk il-kritiku jrid jaqdi lil kulħadd, lil min għandu jagħti prijorità?

X’taħseb? 🤔
