Possessed by Memory

In this deeply personal and reflective audiobook, renowned critic Harold Bloom offers over eighty meditations on profound texts from a wide range of canonical authors, exploring the influence of literature on the human mind and spirit. Written later in his life, these eloquent readings serve as an inward journey, blending poetry, spirituality, and memory, and revealing Bloom’s lifelong fascination with the divine and the enduring power of imaginative literature. The collection intertwines personal remembrance with a broader philosophical inquiry into the relationship between poetry, spirituality, and the divine.
