Let's go, let's make this board more alive and helpful to anons. Depending in your reply I'll be buying some books from these authors.

Is William Faulkner really good or not? Should I buy his stuff? Does he deserve a Nobel?

Is Ivan Gontcharóv good?

Is Le Rouge et le Noir by Stendhal overrated?

Is 11/22/63 by Stephen King "good" by his standards? I need to be an americanmutt boomer to enjoy it?

Are Ken Follett and Robert Musil pretentious shit for midwits?

Is Mark Twain underrated?

Is Haruki Murakami really the best Japanese modern writer or just the one by beloved by westerns?

My biggest problem with Bloom's list is that it shows strong partiality towards late 20th century English speaking culture in its focus. This is already obvious from the way he divides the periods of Western literature (and Eastern literature that's had a significant impact on the West). The first age, which he calls the "Theocratic Age" begins essentially with the invention of writing and extends to about 1300 AD. The next era, the "Aristocratic Age" lasts for a little over 500 years. The "Democratic Age" then lasts for less than 70. You get the idea. The nearer an era is to his own time, the more focus he gives it, and this causes him to greatly over exaggerate the importance of many authors close to his day. It reminds me of how August Comte divided all of human history into the beginning of time-1789, 1789-1815, and 1815-the end of time. (I'm not going to criticize his picks for what he calls the "Chaotic Age" since he admits he's really just guessing there.)

The next way this bias is seen is in how much focus he gives English language literature. Not only are his lists for other languages much smaller, but what he does select for those lists seems to be based on how much they influenced modern English literature (or what he personally found interesting). He leaves off books that had, at best, only an indirect influence on English lit, but nevertheless had a massive impact on their own nations (The Song of Roland, Amadis de Gaula, Der Messias, etc.) There are even some books which did have a strong influence on English language culture that he excludes for some baffling reason, like the tales of Hans Christian Andersen. If he were just trying to create an English canon, I would be mostly okay with his choices, but since he's trying to create a list for all of Western literature, I think it's fair to criticize him on this point.

There are plenty of other problems I could point out, but they're quite minor in comparison. I agree that there should be some kind of Western canon, but it should be one that takes into account the full heritage of all of Western literature.

>>5923 (OP)
When Ezra Pound complained about the Brythonic imbeciles letting in the Jews and the Jews then rotting out the British empire, and then the British out-Jewing the Jews, he was referring to the Harold Blooms of the world.
Harold Bloom is a very self-conscious Jew. Bloom includes all the good goys and deliberately excludes or marginalizes the bad goys. That is why he centers English writers so much; the British empire became the Jews' second home until the establishment of the Israeli state. That is why Britain and America were and still are so deeply liberal politically, especially in their art. Bloom continues this Jewish tradition of "liberalizing" his host country to make it more "humane" and "humanist."
Being classically trained however allowed some of that whiteness he tried to extinguish to rub off on him. This is why Bloom is instinctively and correctly dismissive of black writers. He can't come out and say it as such so this is where he invents his "aestheticism." Aestheticism is a deliberately vague term that gives Bloom plausible deniability when he engages in politics. When he sees bad goys like Pound or Celine or Wyndham Lewis, then become "aesthetically painful" and thus not enjoyable to read. Blacks are "aesthetically wanting," which is to say they are dumb.
Bloom occasionally dropped the mask when talking about Jewish writers like Kafka. He straight up declared Kafka to be a Jewish only author that goyim could not understand.

>his bias is seen is in how much focus he gives English language literature
England didn't invent the novel but they were the biggest enthusiasts of the format; no non-English-speaking Western country can challenge them in terms of amount of books published.
>>5925
Bloom is based actually, he identified the School of Resentment (SJW "wokies") as the biggest threat to media back when there numbers were so few that they could've been easily defeated, but no one listened and they were allowed to indoctrinate millions into their camp.

Bloom is a dead fat kike. If you really think that faggot is the backbone of the western literature you deserve to become one of those creatures from Half-Life 2

This is a 4 year old thread, but Quentin Scobie's channel The Book Club was alright. You have to find an archive of it since he went off the deep end once he started balding. His reviews begin with increasingly performative pieces, and some are completely performative. The meat of his reviews was in the descriptions of his videos. He revived the channel, but his reviews since doing so have becoming increasingly esoteric in their performance because he can't cope with balding.
