John Carey obituary: literary critic Witty, eclectic and sometimes scathing scholar and reviewer who held sacred cows in little respect, dies aged 91

Ah another great 2025 loss. #JohnCarey was a giant of literary criticism; a champion & exemplar of the arts of close reading that I cherish & practise daily; a fearless, lucid & natural communicator committed to the humanising powers of the written word

"Book-burners try to destroy ideas that differ from their own. #Reading does the opposite. It encourages doubt... reading releases you from the limits of yourself."
