TODAY IS THE BIRTHDAY OF HAROLD BLOOM!
You may not know him yet, but if you ever chance to require literary criticism of any sort, you will doubtless encounter his work. We have many books, edited by Mr. Bloom, sitting pretty on the Library shelves awaiting your introduction. A great writer himself who has written criticism of his own work as well, Bloom's collection of critical reviews of literature and authors is legend!
"In the finest critics, one hears the full cry of the human. They tell one why it matters to read."
Cool!
ReplyDeleteI could have written reams about this man, but I left it up to all of you to google him and find it out for yourselves. He is a cool dude indeed, although he looks quite depressed in this photo, no?
ReplyDeleteYeah he looks stressed.
