Prejudices, first series

In this incisive essay the author turns a skeptical eye toward the self‑appointed guardians of taste. By cataloguing the endless parade of critical schools—from moral watchdogs to pure‑beauty purists, from psychological analysts to rigid metrists—the work reveals how each camp clings to its own formula, often at the expense of the art itself. With a blend of irony and clear logic, the writer shows how many reviewers mistake orthodoxy for virtue and dismiss genuine originality as a threat.

The narrative stays firmly in the first act, exposing the habit of critics to reshape new ideas into familiar patterns and to label daring works as scandalous. Listeners will appreciate the witty dissection of how criticism can become a kind of homiletic preaching, privileging conformity over sincerity. It’s a thought‑provoking, entertaining guide for anyone who has ever wondered why the loudest voices in literature sometimes seem to hear only their own echo.
