The book is carried by Amazon, even in ebook format. I downloaded the sample, of which I am happy to provide two quotations that to me appear at least meaningful. I will get the book and read it carefully, bit by bit....
The Anatomy of Influence: Literature as a Way of Life by Harold Bloom does indeed look interesting, but at $17.88 on Amazon, I think I'll wait for the price to drop. It only came out on Kindle 7 weeks ago, so I imagine it will.

Bloom is a gifted writer.
