I find James endearing due to his staunch, impassioned defence of serious literature. Note the absence of scare quotes. Yes, serious literature is a thing and it needs defending due to the imposing presence of cultural attenuation i. e. the dumbing down of culture propagated by social media. I believe serious fiction to be one of the last vestiges, a vital bulwark against this imperious cultural vitiation we're experiencing right now and James is one of our foremost proponents in keeping this bulwark palpable and stable against this unfettered assault on our sensibilities.
I love James Wood...honest, felt, intelligent, empathetic literary criticism, even if he was a little cool toward David Foster Wallace. I understand his standoffishness in regards to Wallace though don't completely share it. James Wood is brilliantly insightful and honest.
God at 25:01 she accuses those strangers as selfish and petty because she sitting in the audience but then his speech made her realise they’re American? Hope that was facetious because that was insufferably judgemental and hypocritical
His written word is flawless. His spoken word is hesitant with much humming and hawing, not evasively but rather to gather his thoughts, then when he speaks he speaks with a down to earth candor and sympathetic manner. No wonder Christopher Hitchens so admired his criticism.

the criticism of the US is meaningless because the material benefit the country offers attracts too many immigrants so that it has to tighten up the passage.

Was the man that asked Wood about Knausgaard Eric Olson, son of Frank Olson? Sure looks like him.
