Book Reviewers Promote Freedom by Giving Orders

 

“Obey me and be free!”

 

-Number Six in the Free for All episode of The Prisoner

 

The irony of the imperative in most reviews

Is to make a command that the reader must heed

Keeping in chains the literary muse:

You must read this must-read which you need to read

 

(now back to weaving tapestries of this and that)
