An editorial in the latest New Criterion, "Deprogramming the MFA," p. 1, begins with reference to the line by Kingsley Amis, Much of what is wrong with the twentieth century could be summed up in the word "workshop." This line seems to get quoted a lot nowadays. I wonder what Spherians think about it. I know a many of us attend (or conduct) workshops, and Eratosphere itself is a workshop. Comments or reactions to Amis and to the whole matter of workshops?
