Yes, because that's what one looks for when reading Sivers. And Sivers knows his audience.

If I want culture I'll consult Harold Bloom, thank you very much.

Who are Bloom like contemporaries? I know few in India. Wouldn’t mind knowing some in US and UK.

Sorry I don’t really know any very well. I used “Bloom” as a metonym for elite culture critics. HB was also an institution in himself.

I do like the reviews and recommendations I’ve read from Michael Dirda and Christian Lorentzen.
