You are now aware that Catcher in the Rye was written more than 60 years ago.

>> No.3159482

>>3159406

The point is that Bloom is so mothafucking patrician he shits on a book that literary titans like Faulkner and Beckett enjoy.

>tfw Harold Bloom is the patrician singularity

Bloom always looks like such a constipated jew. I can't take him seriously. He's so unhealthy and unkempt.

>> No.3159501

>>3159499
I don't know, I can't concentrate well enough to read when I'm constipated.

>> No.3159502

>>3159482

Bloom included Catcher in the Rye in his list of canonized works.

>> No.3159507

>>3159499

He isn't constipated, he's just in severe existential horror and agony. Everybody knows that Western Civilization is done for, but only Bloom can appreciate just how much will be lost.

True. He also doesn't like the book, he just recognizes Holden's status as a major archetype.

In Bloom's Introduction to an anthology on Milan Kundera, he talks about how he put The Unbearable Lightness in his list of canonized works, but then when he reread it he decided it was a Period Piece.

>> No.3161393

So what the fuck is wrong with period pieces?

>> No.3161400

>>3161393

He means, I guess, that they're only relevant in that period of time.

That's not how I've ever heard "period piece" used.

Faulkner's blurb is amazing, even though I disagree with it.

>> No.3161816

>>3161419

I both agree with it and find it amazing.

Most of his blurbs are exceptionally on point.
