I've been meaning to determine whether Bloom's dismissal of post-colonial literature as "bad books by blacks" is apocryphal.

This is true of Leon Wieseltier as well, though he only pretended to do the writing.

Accurate? If you say so. Specious, certainly. But since I loathe the man, proceed!

Harold Bloom found out I was sick and called me in the hospital. Whatever some may say about him, in my life, he was a large measure of hope. May his memory be a blessing.

I thought it was just me. When I read Shakespeare, I have Asimov and Bloom opened to the play I'm reading. I glide right through Asimov, and will get a few sentences of Bloom down, then hit a wall and ask, ehhh ... what?

While this criticism is fair, what Bloom brought out was a sense of the ineffable, greatness and strangeness of the greatest writers, the fact that geniuses were unsurpassedly great and mysterious and worthy of endless study. You don't get that from much criticism today.
