Harold Bloom sieht sich als „jüdischen Gnostiker“. Ursprünglich orthodox erzogen, ist er schnell aus der im Talmud vorgeschriebenen Interpretationsweise der heiligen Texte ausgeschert; und seine Rebellion gegen die Rabbinen hat er später wiederholt, als er sich auch an der Universität gegen das Schulwissen auflehnte. Es ist ein anderes „Wissen“, eine andere „Überlieferung“, der Harold Bloom auf der Spur ist. Das führt er an mehreren kühnen Bogen vor, die er von den Texten der Bibel zu europäischen und amerikanischen Dichtern und Denkern schlägt: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Sigmund Freud, Coleridge, Shelley, Whitman und Wallace Stevens.

This analysis delves into the works of four prominent American modernist poets: Frost, Stevens, Pound, and Eliot. It explores their unique styles, themes, and contributions to modernist literature, highlighting how each poet navigates the complexities of identity, nature, and society. The study examines their innovative use of language and form, revealing the distinct perspectives they bring to the modernist movement and their lasting impact on American poetry.

Two men, no longer young, and friends from childhood, fly to NYC--each with a secret purpose unknown to the other. They arrive just as COVID-19 explodes across the city's 5 boroughs. One of the men (white) has come to Manhattan to confront a theater producer who has made a coercive offer to his wife. The other man (black, former All-American football star) plans to confront and take revenge on his white girlfriend from college days--who left him for a white man. As they pursue their goals they are caught up in the hunt for America's most famous criminal. The black man, seeking revenge, makes a surprising turn. The white man, who has taken his confrontation with the theater producer to criminal length, may never leave Manhattan to return to his family. Manhattan Meltdown introduces a series of inter-connected characters who, ever as their lives are impacted by lethal disease, must continue to struggle with more conventional personal crises: uterine cancer, imperiled romantic relationships, and the deteriorations of advancing old age.

Set against a backdrop that evokes the style of Antonioni, this American adventure is both visually stunning and emotionally complex. The narrative weaves together rich imagery with a sense of mystery, inviting readers to explore deeper themes of human experience and connection. The book promises a journey that is as much about the characters' internal struggles as it is about the external world they navigate.
