Horatio's Version sounds fascinating -- I must put it on my to-read list!
Yeah, while Bloom is probably giving an accurate report of how he approaches stories, to universalize from that is pretty short-sighted. Where else does he think sequels and remakes and things like, oh, that book about Rochester's mad wife (Wide Sargasso Sea, IIRC?) come from?
