Harold Bloom is an asshole
Via Paul Krugman, I find out that 87 year-old Doris Lessing has won a Nobel prize.
Quoting from the AP article:
However, American literary critic Harold Bloom called the academy's decision "pure political correctness."
"Although Ms. Lessing at the beginning of her writing career had a few admirable qualities, I find her work for the past 15 years quite unreadable ... fourth-rate science fiction," Bloom told The Associated Press.
Oooh, snap!
