This. Bookreading poofs can't handle the bants and take everything too seriously. If you don't act like a stuck up cunt you might even get some of them into literature. Most my high school mates are deano types and I've gotten some of them into reading before. It's not intelligence, but the anti intellectual culture you were raised in. Some of these guys are actually insecure about their lack of education and would appreciate if someone taught them something without condescending to them like their teachers probably did, in my experience. I went over to one of my mates a while ago and he'd gotten a bookshelf and he told me he wanted to get into reading after seeing all my books. It was a good feeling.

Same. It is also happening with Octavio Paz to me. I used to hate him, and it seems that he is well hated and resented among young people (and of course the ridiculous resentment based on the idea that he visciously opaqued the career of Elena Garro because she was jealous of her, even though she wrote fiction and he wrote essays and poetry). The older you get the more essential he is--and he was right about basically everything.

Stop shilling this fuck. Theory is descriptive and systematic, but will never add up to the cohessive beauty of a great literary work that theory is based on, and theorists will never add up to the prodigious intuition of the critics like Harold Bloom that can say so much of a poem or a book and get to its soul without forcing it into a theoretic system. And the people Maestro despises make and say much more off literature than him (I'm thinking of Eagleton of course).

is it based or cringe?
