PALADIN OF LITERARY AGNON: A CONVERSATION WITH HAROLD BLOOM
Harold Bloom with William Giraldi on memory, departed friends, and Bloom's new book Possessed by Memory: "These days, whenever I read, teach, or write, I am haunted by friends who educated me.... They seem to be in the room with me. They also appear in my dreams. I have never written a poem. My only gift, as I understand it, is to have learned to listen: to students and to ghosts. I could wish the book were less somber than it is."
