You make me laugh while thinking and comparing reads. Have to ask, as you refer to Allan Bloom, have you read Bellow's novel _Ravelstien_ that I loved and that created such a hullabaloo for so-called "outing" him? Love your edgy essays! ~ Mary

Thanks, Mary! Yes, I read Ravelstein a long time ago, before I even knew much about Bloom. The part I most remember is the Bellow stand-in's near-death experience at the end, so lively and moving. I should definitely re-read.
