The Critic Magazine

28 October 2021

The Critic, the magazine of ideas for open-minded readers, celebrates its second anniversary with a November issue filled with sparkling writing and uncompromising commentary. Josephine Bartosch meets Jenny Kimmel, a victim scorned for telling the unfashionable truth about her abusive autogynephile ex-husband, while Michael Collins keeps track of Stonewall’s efforts to promote asexuals as a minority victim group. Former university lecturer, Lincoln Allison, recalls the Erasmus scheme – and isn’t missing it. Abroad, Janine di Giovanni identifies Gaza’s untapped potential, and Roland Elliott Brown finds that Solzhenitsyn’s philosophical heirs have moved on from challenging state totalitarianism and now have woke ideology in their sights. Plus, all the usual columns from Titania McGrath, D.J. Taylor, Joshua Rozenberg and Jonathan Meades and reviews of the latest books, fads and fashions.
