  • I guess that gets into separating the art from the artist - which is its own conversation. I don’t care for JK Rowling as a person, but then again I don’t like what a lot of many great artists have done. I had to make that decision for myself whether or not I was ok with consuming art from troubled human beings and to what level (monetarily and influence-wise). Ultimately I just make that decision on a case-by-case basis.

    Thanks for the recommendations. I’ll probably start by digging into Herman Hesse. I have some audible credits that need to be put to use.


  • By all means, suggest them. I love good stories.

    And it’s art. I’m not going to discount a story that made me feel deeply just because the author isn’t as skillful as another.

    And is writing (or any art) about topics that are very much present in the real world to be discouraged? Should every piece of art ignore reality and just portray utopia?

    If you didn’t enjoy it, fine. That’s art. It’s subjective. But to call it fascist is just…weird.
