He had his disagreements with Marxism, but he frequently expressed 
his debt to the Old Man, too. To wax Bloomian for a minute, I think 
he had a real anxiety of influence issue.

And so what? So what if MF didn't meet the Marxian purity assay? 
Doesn't he deserve being taken seriously anyway? There aren't many 
writers of the last century in his league as both thinker and stylist.
