It’s some very bad shit. He’s not a redeemable character in my eyes. Like, put him in the plastic magneto jail.
Edit: I loved his books too, it sucks
That sucks, yeah like I say in my other reply I'd kind of picked that up by inference. Reading is kind of intimate in that you travel into the imagination of the author and I think it would preclude me from enjoying the work. Hard to separate the art from the artist in that kind of medium, because of the way reading is experienced.
Everytime time you seperate thr art feom the artist you are left wondering why the mediocre middle aged guy ends up with the 20 year old manic pixie dream girl. Which describes each of the works in question.
Yeah, that’s a good way of explaining it. On a personal note, I think I’d be too focused looking for clues of his rotten behavior inside the pages to just sink into a book. I’d be clinical. That’s not why you read contemporary fantasy.
