Harold Bloom always looked drunk. Not from alcohol of course, but from reading 8 books late in the evening and wakes up hungover.

That was ridiculous, even for Rose standards.
Is there a second part to this interview?
Master and Commander. With Charlie the annoying cabin boy.
1000 pages an hour? With that retention? Holy shit.

@@hungrycrab3297 I agree. Also, the fact that he doesn't really qualify the claim by noting exactly which types of material he can and cannot read at such a rate further diminishes its credibility. One test is to take a very easy book on a subject one finds very familiar, then clock yourself. I find that in reading garbage like John Grisham that I can manage nearly 500 words a minute. Maybe with a 180 verbal IQ I could reach 1,000 on easy material. I decline to credit that even such a genius could manage anything like that rate in reading high literature or challenging non-fiction.

A wonderful example as to how to NOT conduct an interview. Charlie may be a sharp chap, but he is no Harold Bloom. Even if Charlie was smarter, this is TERRIBLE interviewing.
Harold Bloom parece sempre estar muito entediado hehehe
1 Corinthians 4: 6 "And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another."

What is Charlie Rose's faith. He seems somewhat defensive during this interview.

Old Bloom is very much on the offensive against heritage Americans here. But, aren't they always?
who is allan bloom ? the edward gibbons of the us or just a chosen chatterer?
To Harold it is all a cultural development. He sees no historical spiritual connection with the New Testament church. Because he does not comprehend such a possibility.
Charlie Rose is a profoundly annoying interviewer.
Now I understand why he loves Falstaff so much. Ugh.
He is a normative enough sort of a Jew in his obvious hatred of true Christians. This is also very clear in his books, especially in one of his weaker outings: "Jesus and Yahweh: The Names Divine." I'm glad he lived to experience most of the Trump presidency and did not live to see his friends "fortify" the 2020 election.
So, Bloom rejects a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Yeah, that's helpful.

By default I agree but its also the fact that when you live in Ivory Tower all your life its kind of hard to write about anything. To be a writer you really have to speak with people and live in the world you write about. Thats why I believe Hemingway was one of the greatest writters since he never ceased in researching and living for the sake of writting. It takes a lifetime to become a writter, you only need a degree to become a critic.

I JUDGE that these are quite flippant, even glib, remarks. Harold Bloom CERTAINLY has lived through much outside of the so-called ivory tower...and he is worthy of reading IN DEPTH simply because of the BREADTH of his reading and knowledge...of course, he puts forth his own standards as any reader does, and he does so FIRST as a reader, not a formalist critic (that comes later)...I admire the Great Professor as a guide who is always fair, though at times jumpy, as most critics are. I severely disagree with him on Plath (whom he seems to loathe for "jumpy" reasons", along with some theory (including the French)...he despises the Beats because they cannot be "situated" in his theory, and thus the entire theory must be either reevaluated or discarded.
