Unpleasant News

                                                               


Neil Gaiman, author of some of my favorite novels, has been very credibly accused of a variety of non-consensual sexual encounters with a number of young women. The details are sickening.  

I'm not likely to stop reading or listening to his works, but it's deeply saddening to think that an author I've let whisper in my ear (via audiobook) as I fall asleep, is capable of such nastiness.

Perhaps he can get a job in the forthcoming administration.

Why are some men like this?

The article I read points to some abuse in his childhood. His parents were ardent Scientologists and had some odd ideas of discipline.

I was also shocked at how this person with such fantastic writing skills, a mind that takes us to unimagined wondrous places, could also be so sadly warped. He sure lost my respect for him as a person.
