"Art is what you enjoy as you put up with reality..."

I love them both

nobody has ever clapped faster in the history of hands than Michael.

7:07 “Our need for answers, our need to understand, is perhaps the need that we’re most punished for in human life.” - what beautiful phrasing by Michael.

The host is a straight up Chris Farley character

11:58 Anne Carson does Travis Bickle: "You don't think I'm a realist?... You don't think I'm a realist?"..."

Nice one from Mr. Silverblatt: "Realism is like a protracted seance."

Can someone ever tell me what does he mean around 6:10 xxxx and Gertrude Stein

I'm sure few will agree, but it saddens me that this is seemingly what literature has become. Vapid hyperbolic effusveness from the interviewer combined with pseudo-philosopical 'depth' from AC. Hopefully, the source texts are more impressive. They often are.

She is hardly pseudo-anything and”depth” doesn’t need to be in quotes. I have a number of her books, mostly poetry and essays and she is invariably brilliant and creative. She is a highly respected classicist and an award winning books. Don’t judge any person by one interview particularly with this interviewer who hard to listen to because he is so slow and even silent that it’s hard to pay attention-one’s mind wanders. She is not a performer and he clearly isn’t. If you want to judge something, look at them at their best-in her case,

Read "Eros The Bittersweet" and I think you'll see that she has a great deal of philosophical depth. Interviewers don't always bring out the best in a thinker

Your problem is probably that you are not clever enough to grasp the conversations she is having with the history if representation.

slow down and appreciate; comprehend... literature has not “become” anything- that is entirely ignorant to suggest. literature is stylistically relative and the progression of it over time cannot be summarized in some generalized whim with pithy analysis.
