It is meant here, but I think the link from liking one author's non-fic more than their fic to Adam Roberts happened mostly in my head without getting out into the comment. Oops.
I think my opinion of Adam Roberts’ SF criticism is somewhat clouded by my opinion of his SF (which is essentially ”it’s OK, I guess, but it does feel a bit like those SF books that ‘literary’ writers occasionally do without bothering to inform themselves about the field of existing SF”).
Coo. Now you say that, I'm thinking, yes, that is very definitely true, especially of the later stuff (after about Gradisil). Which is very odd, because as a successful SF critic Roberts must be well informed about the field of existing SF, but it still describes his SF perfectly. Interesting.
