Bloom's a twerp, says Neil Gaiman Popular (4106)

The Leaky Cauldronopens in new window reports that Neil Gaiman has posted his own thoughts about Harold Bloom's criticisms in the LA Timesopens in new window on his webpageopens in new window:

Well, Harold Bloom is a twerp. Steve King's best work -- Misery, for example, or The Body, or the Man in Black short story about the kid who met the Devil, picking a few just off the top of my head -- are as good, sentence by sentence and story by story, as anything out there, by anyone.

It's quite interesting to watch these wars of words go on. I wonder if Harold Bloom will now go on to write about how awful Gaiman's work is. I've read quite a bit of Gaiman's stuff myself actually, not to change the topic, but I highly recommend it all.

I totally agree with Neil Gaiman; Bloom is a twerp. Seeing as HPANA is a "family" site, I cannot use the words that I would like to describe him in this post ... :)
