The Critic Magazine

25 November 2021

The Critic, the magazine of ideas, brings to the season of goodwill a Christmas double issue filled with stimulating reading and provocative entertainment. Mary Harrington suggests the widening gender imbalance among British and American university graduates is radically reshaping office politics, David Scullion finds that following its response to the Covid pandemic the Church of England has a cold Christmas coming and Paul Raffaele reveals what it was like to be welcomed into the home of an Afghan warlord and then be blown-up by a suicide bomber. Comfort and joy comes from the full mixed voice chorus of Critic books and arts reviewers, foodies, adventurers, style writers and satirists across a bumper 112 pages of wit and insight.
