Why didn't that bastard Harold Bloom include the most important writer of the 19th century in his Western canon?

>> No.13583333

>>13583322
because he is a philo-semite who could lose his cushy ivy league job if he promoted too many 'problematic' authors

4chan thinks he's hot shit, that he, yet another dead white male, deserves to rob the place of someone more worthy than himself from The Canon, just because he's le kool nazi man. You know what he would have deserved? A rope around his neck, that's what. Nazis are to be hunted like the animals they are.

you cant argue with quads, also if Jews can be anti-semitic (as norman finkelstein, israel shamir and many others have been called by jews) they can be philo-semites too

Shakespeare is his favorite author despite Shylock. Let's be reasonable here.

But Céline was included in the canon (ctrl+f "céline"):
