Sure it's sad when anyone dies but I never agreed with Bloom's view of literature. He was unbearably snobby about his tastes and thought anything popular was shit and the coming of the end of literature. See his thoughts on Harry Potter, Stephen King, Tolkien, etc. Basically he was living in the past. He was also incredibly biased towards English language books and had barely read any Eastern or African literature. Not to mention his general bias against anything written in the last 20 years, I seem to remember him saying that there were only three authors in the last 20 years who wrote a good book... |
