>"He can’t think, he can’t write. There’s no discernible talent.”
What did he mean by this?
>buttblasted pedophile smears actually relevant authors
>Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.
>tfw noticing your fellow readers grow up, you know what he means too well

It means that he has no taste.
Oh Bloom how I've longed for you to return to this board and grace us with your presence. <3

Bloom's review of Harry Potter may be full of shit, but this line is gold

>tfw you will never write as well as that
>tfw it's not even well-written

DFW is awful. Thank god he chose infinite rest.
>>7703491
It means he had his feelings hurt when DFW called his writing 'turgid', and that was coming from DFW.
I read Infinite Jest and I think DFW sucks, he could have written the 20th century's conspiracy novel, but instead he wasted his talent on coping with ennui.
Means that he's a narcissist, and anything that doesn't sound remotely like Greek lit is a failure
>>7705113
Wrong! Bloom advocates the reading of Latin American and Black American literature, which are stylistically very unlike Greek literature. In addition, he recommends a few Japanese writers, who are completely unlike Greek writers!
