There's even a scandal for Alice Munro

My #1 booktuber was a fan of this Canadian author, and I almost got her stuff on his almighty word of recommendation, but I just learnt that her daughter has come forth to say her stepdad abused her, I didn't want to learn more, like if Ms Munro played a more devious part in all of that, it seems that many a big authors shortly after they've passed have their reputation taken to bits, people like Neil Gaiman, and Cormac McCarthy.

This is something i'm freed by by focusing on really old authors, and sources, and I do know that they did and said things differently back then that wouldn't be acceptable nowadays, but if that kind of thing bothers you, you can't read the classics period, what my approach is, this is from another time period, and it has lasted this long, it meets the rudimentary requirements to be worthy of my time and attention. And I think there's still a basic understanding in society that this approach is ok, but when recent authors go off the track, it's like we have to either do a separate the art from the artist, or give them up to the three headed behemoth in the hades of our combined contempt.

I don't think I have a definite point of view about these author scandals though, the Gaiman one is the most disgusting, I never read him, and most assuredly never will now, or ever. But I did check out his accomplice wife or whatever, her music video and an interview they had together, out of morbid curiosity.
