This line is often taken as an inspiring motivational quote, but it was a literal description of the situation at the time, because of what today we might call an interface problem. The invention of shorthand and the typewriter in the early twentieth century had made it possible to create accurate records, but senior staff – even engineers at NASA – didn’t interact directly with the administrative machinery of the office. Secretaries and clerks were the unavoidable interface between the manager and the ability to get things done. You spoke to a secretary; they “interfaced” with the shorthand pad and the typewriter. You handed over a paper; they “interfaced” with the filing cabinet. Every kind of activity was organised this way. The secretary was the interface for the diary, a physical object kept only on their desk. (This could be a source of real influence.) They were the human “firewall” or routing system for phone calls. If the manager wanted a coffee, well that was the secretary too. It all went through her.

In other words, I was looking for some understanding of literature as an essentially spiritual vocation—and Bloom was the perfect priest for this. He was like some dedicated monk or Kabbalist of the Middle Ages, scribbling away at his sacred commentaries and apologia, while the rest of the world got on with the bloody business of forgetting. He taught a way of thinking about cognition and memory that involved arguing for, preserving and above all loving the products of that long tradition of Western literature. For Bloom, the tremulous, inward-facing Western self—however anxious and depressive it had made us—was a beautiful wound. It required constant healing and nourishing, which only intense, solitary reading could yield.
