![]() To be fair about it, I am somewhat prejudiced against Bloom. ![]() A few weeks ago I decided to give it a try and found it to be a piece o’ cake, mostly. A couple years ago I found a copy dirt-cheap at some thrift store or another and its fat binding has glowered at me from the shelves since. Given Harold Bloom’s prodigious reputation, I was afraid of the thing, and so avoided it, figuring it to be fraught with lit theory of the densest sort. I dimly remember when this book came out (1998) how big and important and controversial it was supposed to be. ![]()
