Do you think it's indicative of a rotten culture that even writers (whom you would hope lean more towards the smarter side than your average cookie) even get caught up in celebrity culture and sell out their image over the top of their writings? Or is it forced on them?

My thought is that if you keep yourself anonymous then your writing stands alone and isn't judged in any way based on your reputation or image as a person, etc; it's judged purely on its own merit. So its popularity shouldn't force you out of the closet, so to speak.

There are some things that happen in the world which are worthy of disgust, and if one can direct it properly then some good may be achieved through it. The relative space, on the cover of a particular edition of a novel, devoted to a critical opinion is not one of them. Mild irritation is the strongest emotion you should be allowing yourself in this case.

>>5537708
I bet you did you fucking hack, having your words on the front of a literary classic must have been quite the ego trip for an obscure book critic. Do you have signed copies of all of McCarthy's works in your living room? Do you get them out at parties and show all your sycophantic friends, exclaiming proudly "I wrote that" as you gesture inarticulately to the front cover as if having your words in proximity to those of a respected author makes you a respected author too?
