Peak just dropped; get it while it's hot. This book's copies are selling like hotcakes!>Bringing together a collection of Harold Bloom’s letters to and from eight of his favorite contemporary writers, Heather Cass White provides an intimate view of one of the most famous literary critics of the last century. In correspondence with Alvin Feinman, Northrop Frye, A. R. Ammons, John Hollander, James Merrill, John Ashbery, Henri Cole, and Ursula K. Le Guin, we see Bloom developing his groundbreaking theory of poetic influence, transforming himself into a public intellectual, and reckoning with the meaning of his own legacy.I went straight to the section between him and Northrop Frye which was kind of disappointing. It was basically him fellating him, asking about random articles he published, and then soft-launching his retarded influence theory to him before getting absolutely BTFO by Northchad Frye (and then getting butthurt about it for years after).
>>25257184>the man who read everything>has not read Chinese and Japanese literature
>>25257216nigga nobody cares about ching chong and kawaii desu ne, asians can't fucking write.
Bloom read maybe 1/1000 of what he claims to have, and that is an extremely generous estimate
>>25257574Trvke. Which is a shame because I’m fond of the kawaii desu ne slop.
>>25257574Yumeno Kyūsaku and Oguri Mushitarō are better than any American writer of the past century

>>25257574better than any white writers except goethe (remember, white is ONLY germany, austria, and the scandinavian countries — anthing else is just “mutt”)
>>25257607White is very specifically Anglos and England.
Oh come on… EVERYthing? I’m sure plenty of things aren’t legible at all.
>>25257607Race traitor bitch. Wait till the niggers get at your girl. Then let’s see who’s “white” and who’s not.
>>25257597don't mention them here, they're too good to let the typical /lit/izen in on
>>25257574faggot chinese literature had multiple "golden ages" before english was even a language
>>25257597I really gotta read Dogra Magra one of these days, seems like a trip.
>>25257686i’ll do whatever the fuck i want, go suck a nigger dick, faggot
>>25257586Nigga read so much he could wade through 100 pages of your sloppa and call it out. If you actually read a lot you’d know this ability as well.

>>25257184>"I don't really believe in the truth," Bloom wrote, "not even the truth of the imagination—just the sound of a voice."What a Jew thing to say.
>>25259718>jewish man says thing>what a jew!Astute aren’t you.
