Lit-theory students will know him as long as Norton continues to excerpt "Anxiety of Influence" in their theory anthology.

The rest of what he's known for right now - his carping about Harry Potter, the pop criticism books - will be period trivia.

Basically no.

Anybody mentioned in Infinite Jest will be remembered.

That's what he sounds like!? I don't think anyone's face and voice has ever matched less for me

Yeah, I had always imagined Bloom with a whiny, stereotypically jewish voice for some reason until I heard him talk. He just looks and writes like he would have a bad voice
