/lit/ - Literature

Does anyone else get the impression that Harold Blood is the middest of wits? Saying Hamlet is the greatest work of western literature, perhaps he adds, of all literature ever is like an art critic saying the Mona Lisa is the greatest painting of all time. The guy reads Gnosticism into everything in order to sound heckin deep and as a consequence a meme of Blood Meridian being gnostic developed among literary critics though there is zero in the story to suggest some higher platonic realm.
