>Pat is known to have studied a lot as he discovered what he wanted to do. For seven years, he studies anthropology, eastern religions, history, philosophy, alchemy, parapsychology, writing, and literature. These diverse exposures gave him the needed skills for creative writing. He also studied six martial arts, learned how to pick locks, studied how to become a skilled lover of women, and practiced comedy.

You may not like it, but that's what peak neckbeard performance looks like

Is he a Jew? He certainly looks like one and the surname is a red flag. The fact he screwed over his readership and detoriated the trust in writers of fantasy series for his own benefit and to the detriment of new writers points towards Jewish heritage too.

He has said “I don’t know how I can possibly work on the book with Trump in office”

He is a colossal douche

As a fellow schizoid, I encourage you to take three seconds to do some cursory research rather than make yourself look dumb.

I always feel strangely unnerved by his general appearance. The combination of his bad hair and his beard's uncanny resemblance to overgrown pubic hair creates a disturbing result.

"lover of women" gets me every time. I struggle to decipher what kind of thought process led to the inclusion of that.

I still can't believe this botched take at unreliable narration that actually reads as yet another power fantasy novel got heralded as the renewal of the genre.

most of the people who write that kind of modern fantasy look like literal manchildren; the only exception is Stephen Erikson but probably because he's a lot older
