I like him. He's the final bastion of defending literature. Though it could be too much too late.

He will die soon and I won't see a point in living.
He has such a love of literature it's amazing. We're really lucky be alive while he is.

I wanna tie him up and cum all over his saggy, old, wrinkly breasts as I read that footnote from IJ called his lectures turgid and pointless and force him to watch me burn a pile of Philip Roth novels

He didn't exactly say that about Willy Shakes. What he meant was more of a discovery than an invention. He later regreted naming the book the "invention" because of the many misinterpretations.
He's old school academia, obsolete but immortal because it's the best
