Does the fart sniffing stuff change the way you see him or his books in any way?

>> No.23279316

No because he already had weird kinky stuff in his work.

Have you read his books? Probably not because if you did you would know some passages read like Rabelais. I think

>> No.23279333

>>23279326
It's just his glasses making his eyes look huge. He had really bad eyesight so his prescription had super thick lenses. He went totally blind for the last decade or so and all his work on Finnegans Wake was transcribed by an assistant.

No, it's not normal and it's not good. I choose to overlook it because he's such a great artist and I'm not a judgmental person. If it actually raises your opinion of him, there is something wrong with you. But honestly a major reason why I find it disturbing is that I don't find his wife attractive
