Harold Bloom and me
I don't know how I just learned this, but I was greatly honored to discover that my 2001 critical essay "Phoenix has no Coat: Historicity, Eschatology, and Sins of Omission in Eudora Welty's 'A Worn Path'" was anthologized in an edition of Harold Bloom's influential series Modern Critical Views, this one devoted to Eudora Welty, which Bloom edited and for which he wrote the introduction. Even though Bloom and I diverge widely in our view of literature and interpretation, I am honored to have had my work selected for his anthology. A great holiday surprise.

Prof. Bethea: Need a huge favor from you, if you are willing. I need a letter regarding unofficial accommodations for a learning disability I have while you taught at Centenary. I'm having trouble finding contact info for you so this is the best I can come up with. If you don't mind getting in contact, please drop me a line at johnanthonysimone [at] gmail [dot] com. Thanks. -John
