Quote by Jim Bishop

A good writer is not necessarily a good book critic. No more so than a good drunk is automatically a good bartender.

A good writer is not necessarily a good book critic. No more

Summary

This quote suggests that being skilled at creating writing does not automatically qualify someone to be an effective book critic. It draws a parallel between a good writer and a good drunk, implying that just because someone is experienced or talented in one area does not imply they possess the necessary skills or judgment in another. In other words, expertise in writing does not guarantee the ability to critique books effectively, just as being skilled at drinking does not mean being adept at serving drinks.
