All I know about Moby Dick is that Papa Boner is his dad. And, he probably missed him during the time of the writing process.

What an idiot. Whitman was mediocre at best.

2 CIA tools

I didnt know Melville had such a big Dick.

Chapeau!

The interviewer is crude and unprofessional.

If the story had been longer, it would have been neither worse nor better, but a *different story*. I did like this story, which surprised me as I'm not much if an Updike fan.

Tremendous

Am I losing my mind, or is everything he's saying been said a million (more or less) times before? I was expecting fresh revelations. Not to say he's not intelligent nor well spoken, but ... is this the culmination of a lifetime of work on Shakespeare?

Fantástico interview ‼️

DeLillo sounds so much like older Paul Newman, it’s crazy.

I’m 56 and have recently heard about William Gass from a Better Than Food book review on RUclips. How am I just now discovering this amazing writer?

Possession is the most gripping force that a writer has and a porn star too.

That’s totally what screwed.

Yes... the Sea!

I love that part of this is in Español. I am trying to learn enough to read Bolaño's poetry in the original language.

I love Rushdie's perspective of bodyguards in a way that Barthelme could never imagine

Just wow.

It’s fun to listen to her charming Mississippi accent become attenuated over time in the interviews. Walking into Bennington College (New England) for the first time-she probably made a striking impression on everyone.

How wonderful it is to have the consolation of tears when nothing is wrong.

Silverblatt is the Nardwuar of literature interviews

RIP JOHN died April 2nd 2024 at the age of 93. He was hilarious.

NO SOUND AHH

Bruh I thought Gass wayyy different. It make the tunnel more accessible now

rest in peace to my favorite author. forever witty and articulate.

Such a serene, egoistical, philosophical, reasonable, charming gentleman.

Silverblatt looks like a Silverblatt.

RIP John

If you know so much why are you talking?

This documentary is so well made! So engaging and put up in such a charming way... the best i have ever seen as far a shirt biographical documentaries go. Amazing work. How many of us would wish to still have material made up like this about relevant and interesting people

Of course the interviewers are dutch guys...

Is this about Bloom or Emerson?

(Fernando)"Pessoa was neither mad nor a mere ironist; he is Whitman reborn…" Harold Bloom: The Western Canon

Nature has a tendency to spiral.

I too often get a certain pedantry & forced intellectualism in this interview. I like more plain-though not in the least simplistic-speech. Just my criticism.

Didn’t expect him to be such a jovial and garrulous fellow

'I think Herzog is out of his mind'. Lol....

love it

RIP Michael Silverblatt. Murdered in the next Halloween film.

Gertrude Stein was talking to NPR but grandpa went down to the strip club.

You write after the sentence and Agassi admits he’s slow.

Gen x can learn from these cornpones.

These lit dudes are all about Platonism.

David Lynch has become my grandmother.

Michael Silverblatt asks about the Order of Insects.

Bill Gass’ haircut looks like Billy needs a barber.

Shakespeare s easy,,, Borges is challenging,,,, check out Borges EVERY THING AND NOTHING,,,,,, its really good it's about when Shakespeare retired in 1613 3 years before he died,,,,,, err a bit random to mention, but rember mike yarwood the comedy impression ist ,,, mike had a nervous breakdown at the end of his career well Borges hints at Shakespeare s mental state like yarwood having to create lots of characters,,,,, yes Borges is challenging,,,,,, im an Advocate for Shakespeare,,, im a tour guide ar the new Shakespeare playhouse in Prescott ,,,,,, err something to think about well Shakespeare in 1580 when he was 16 got a job in Preston as a schoolteacher 😂 reading can be hard work but stay with it and have fun 😂

One of his most lucid and straightforward discussions.. Thanks so much.

This old dude fucking blows loll good riddance

So good to hear Margaret laughing 😂
