Remembering HAROLD BLOOM on Theater Talk

The eminent scholar Harold Bloom (1930-2019) appears on "Theater Talk" in 2000 to discuss his book "Shakespeare, The Invention of The Human."

For all his outer bombast and hyperbole, it is the humanity and reality within the man that appeals. A great light has gone out in the world.

For those of you who are wondering where the late critic's right arm is, he takes it out his shirt in 19:10, slips it back inside in 20:51 and then takes it out again in 22:35.

Thanks a lot.

[@MikesPOV]

It may have had something to do with the open heart surgery he had two years later. It may be pain he was experiencing in his upper chest.

Good god. He is gone. What could i even say.

[@marccohen1335]

He was like the brilliant and kind uncle that we would all like to have had. And we did have him through his writings, lectures and interviews. Here HB comes to life for us through TH-cam. His videos comfort me and make me sad at the same time.
