Week 3

The Accidental Masterpiece 
Michael Kimmelman 
 
The article starts off with Steven Metcalf the author of Slate, critiquing The Accidental Masterpiece by Michael Kimmelman. He's grateful that Kimmelman has made his job easier by writing a "terrific book" as this makes his usual suck-up intro less awkward. I like how Metcalf includes the book's introduction because this gives the reader adequate background about the book. In addition, I enjoyed the series of questions throughout his critique; he properly lays out the book's themes and style.
