A rather wonderful review

in the NYTBR by Harold Bloom of Rebecca Goldstein's 'Betraying Spinoza', a book I definitely want to read (but the review also takes me back to the days of the Bloom Shakespeare seminar I took in grad school, it was quite amazing & I can still in my mind's ear hear him reading Edmund's bastard soliloquy in that flat and yet somehow also quite perspicuous voice, Bloom's way of reading aloud is completely unactorly and yet lets some meaning of the words come through that would be worse served by more eloquent reading); also, Sean Wilsey praises Alison Bechdel's 'Fun Home'.
