Genius: A Mosaic of One Hundred Exemplary Creative Minds

Harold Bloom, whose provocative The Western Canon changed the way we look at the classics, now seeks to define the particular genius of 100 great minds, ranging from Socrates and St. Paul to Hart Crane and Federico Garcia Lorca. Clustering these literary thinkers in groups of five (e.g., Dickens, Dostoevsky, Babel, Celan, Ellison), Bloom illuminates his subjects without historicizing them. His insights into writers and individual works reveal Bloom's own critical genius at work. The essay on Franz Kafka, for example, evidences Bloom's half-century-long encounter with the Czech author's oeuvre. Bloom enthusiasts will be pleased, too, by his spirited digressions on the blight of academic Groupthink and the distortions of postmodern cultural studies.
