I'm normally pretty forgiving of pompous talkin' from legit smart dudes, but Bloom definitely seems like he hams it up a bit. There's a bit of gay theatre in him or something.

I just think its weird that hes so fanny-flustered about sanders supporters studying blood meridian as a critique of american imperialism, when he read it as a critique of the second amendment and gun culture.
Also, if he really hates the politicization of literature, wouldn't he be supportive of GWB not reading any books [which is false]? That way George couldn't recite lines from the Iliad as a call to arms etc.
given how he is lauded on this board for his 'anti-political defense of the canon' this criticism seems salient

Its pure ideology, there is no apolitical readings of literature

When did he say anything about Sanders? I assume he voted for Sanders.
