Reading saved my life...I can't imagine existing without reading....it is a postire to read...you have to experience the art of reading to understand to know it
Very useful… I’ve just started a whole series of how to podcasts. The first one on ‘how to wave’. The second on how to wave and speak simultaneously. The third one of how to put on gloves. I’ve had great reviews and responses… as an offshoot I’ve now started a series on how not to do things. The first one on ‘how not to wave’ etc…
Had Bloom read Leon Forrest at this time? Strange that he never mentions Forrest when he talks about “literary jazz,” as Forrest was its most accomplished practitioner.
He was obviously a very depressed man in many ways, I sure wish people didn't just ignore it in interviews...but rather ask about it and if it's a necessity to truly grasp Shakespeare.

Congrats! A great critic...😎
Reading this comment made me read even more! Bravo!
Coming here thanks to the recommendation by Better Than Food book reviews.
That would be me, also.
Me as well, it was posted at
r/ClassicalEducation initially
Well thats me as well.
There will never be another person as erudite and smart as Harold Bloom. He was a huge inspiration to me.
Sir Christopher Rick's is also a towering figure of literary criticism who is equally respected. But the volume and erudition of Bloom is breathtaking
What an absolutely ludicrous remark, and wholly unjustified, idiotic even.
And to me.. 😎
RIP, Harold Bloom
Wow. Good stuff. I’ve read the book by HB...this IS GOLD.
What an intellect, listen and be humbled as I was.
Great find.
I said it once and I'll say it again, I love this man.
So now you've at least said it twice. Keep the arithmetic up.
@@jimnewcombe7584 And now you've counted at least once, likewise.

Depression is part and parcel of a great intellect.

If your going to read Catholic litterature it helps to actualy be Catholic.
What a strange comment. It helps far more to be literate, intelligent, and open-minded.
It might help, but it's not necessary.
If you’re going to read McCarthy, it helps to have been born in Rhode Island.
