Which one of his books or is there a video on-line that provides a summation of his aesthetic or literary ideals and preferences or his arguments for them?

I don't want to read his critiques of individual books, and I'm unsure as to whether 'How to Read and Why' is adequate for what I'm looking for.

>>8592361 I love Bloom, but from reading a couple of his book and watching all the interviews I can find of him, it honestly seems like his aesthetic preferences are just "I know it when I see it." Not saying that's bad, and there are obviously some works which are objectively better than others, but yeah you can't really measure these things in an objective way.

the one where he mixes the jewish kabbalah with his canon

Bloom's formula is really simple actually:
1) Is it Shakespeare? If yes, then it's the best most trascendental and perfect thing that has graced literature through all possible instances and epochs of the universe. If no, then
2) Can you compare it to Shakespeare in some way, even if you have to shoehorn? If yes, then do a foreword for it where you talk only about it. Otherwise, there's no discernible talent.

Then explain why he hated Infinite Jest, which is in many ways a retelling of Hamlet.
