A funny thing happened on the way to Wallace Stevens' later poetry

[TranquillityBase]

"Philip Roth....once declared 'Celine is my Proust!', summed up the ambivalence still felt towards the author, who he still felt deserved recognition for his writing, when he said: 'Even if his anti-semitism made him an abject, intolerable person--to read him, I have to suspend my Jewish conscience, but I do it because antisemitism isn't at the heart of his books.'" 

Ditto for Pound.
