Do you have an autistic obsession with any particular authors?

I always autistically browse about the backgrounds of various authors. Some of the classic genre guys are worth reading about just for the stupid tidbits - Lovecraft loved eating vanilla ice cream and hung out with Houdini or Joyce screaming for daddy Hemingway or something like that. Author trivia is fun.

The Ubu plays, not representative of his whole body of work but a thousand times more well-known. It was also one of its earliest work and it gained massive fame immediately so I think it influenced his line of thought for his latter works. If you can't find an edition with the three plays, Ubu Roi only is fine, it's the more famous, the first one and the better one.

Haruki Murakami is one of my favorite authors, but I really dislike his obsession with united states.
But I can easily sepparate the author from the work, so it's not like I won't read more of his works just because his personal opinions.

Philip K Dick. His prose is borderline shit but there's something about him and his whole things-aren't-what-they-seem shtick. Seems like he had a bit of a rough but interesting life, too. I own about ten of his books.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 12 18:45:43 2020 No.16565071 >>16565060 >His prose is borderline shit No necessarily. Only the novels he was churning out quickly like Balzac to make money. The novels he took the time to write flow with beautiful writing

Might it not rather be his frustrations with Japan that bother you? All great writers require a place of exile or retreat, or have for the past 100 or so years it seems. He's a warmer, more open person when he's in the U. S. --giving lectures, granting interviews, even signing books for hours upon hours. He does none of this in Japan, or hasn't historically-- any idea as to why?
