A funny thing happened on the way to Wallace Stevens' later poetry
#9
For no reason, I want to post videos about the death of Philip Roth. The full thing I saw the day after he died has been cut.

But,

these two videos give the interview with him, and the second video cuts about 6 minutes.












Harold Bloom loved Philip Roth. He despised Celine and Pound, and didn't so much despise, but resented Henry Miller and Kurt Vonnegut, their close ties with Celine.


I like the second video here. That lines up with my views about comedy.


And we do what we do. We may fail. And that makes us angry and aggressive. 



Society, in the "Western Areas", puts so much emphasis on how much more powerful words are over sticks and stones. 
We have a Literature in America, because we don't have to worry so much about sticks and stones.

Ezra Pound got into the sticks and stones. 



Harold Bloom was a fat, weak Jew, who was haunted by God and didn't want to believe in Him.


Jews are, stereotypically, very hifalutin arrogant people. You'd think they were Christians.


Ezra Pound.
