He's rich and writing is hard and the shite you have to deal with when producing a book is annoying, or so I've been told.

The actions of his nieces Melissa and Jenny have driven him into seclusion.

He was rich as anyone, said writing was easy, didn't have to deal with shite - agents/editors took care of everything once you got your first few novels in...

Suttree fan myself.

What does being born in Rhode Island have to do w anything? John Hawkes was from Rhode Island, and he's a stylistic funambulist.

Louis L'Amour was born in North Dakota, ergo he's a greater writer than Cormac McCarthy?

No shite. He only became a household name in the last decade or so because of the movies (and Oprah!) but the dude's been around.

His crazy ex-wife is gonna frick you up for this.

Seriously though. She created a profile on Tigerdroppings to confront a Georgia poster who made a thread about her arrest.

Crazy as frick.

How many people complained that Stanley Kubrick only directed 13 films in his career? It takes time to create a masterpiece.

I mean, he's got a pretty deep catalogue already. Anything else at this point is a bonus.

Are you really surprised that the guy who wrote Blood Meridian is a bit of an eccentric?

I can't remember what board it was on but I'll go ask the Georgia board and report back.

ETA: It was tylerdurden24. He posted this about it:

Yeah that was me

I can't even remember all the specifics myself. I think there was an article posted somewhere that I had linked to on the OT a few years ago. Apparently, said article was a fabrication or something and she was going around to every message board and comment section to defend herself (I think it was something about her?).

I apologized and she was pretty cool about it after that. Lives in New Mexico and makes art IIRC
