A review by katireadsalot
The Closing of the American Mind by Allan Bloom

1.0

I just can’t with this book. Racism, sexism and elitism repackaged as “intellectual”. But don’t worry— you won’t have to think too hard. The argument is “I did it this way, which is right. And the young people are stupid.” He at one point says you should lose your virginity in college like he did instead of in high school. Like, can you believe someone had the audacity to live a different life than him???
