PEN: From The Anxiety to The Anatomy of Influence: A Conversation with Harold Bloom

Where: New York Public Library, Celeste Bartos Forum, 5th Ave. at 42nd St., New York City

On the closing day of the PEN World Voices Festival, Yale University’s Sterling Professor of the Humanities Harold Bloom will join Paul Holdengräber for a discussion LIVE from the NYPL. Now in his eighth decade, Bloom will reflect back on his life-long love affair with literature and recite some of his favorite poems. In a far-ranging conversation, he will revisit his classic work of literary criticism, The Anxiety of Influence. Bloom will also discuss Till I End My Song, his recent collection of poems, and his career-spanning “critical self-portrait” The Anatomy of Influence.
With Harold Bloom and Paul Holdengräber
