"You mentioned to me that first evening of our voyage that you thought might have been born to be a writer. What a terrible thing, I think."

Broadly I'm enjoying this book but every now and again I get to a part that's difficult to read, because it's hard to keep the book still while also making sarcastic jerk-off motions.

Stephen King wrote himself into his own novels, author as manifestation of cosmic imperative, and it was less grating than this 2 sentence mention of the Great and Tragic Burden of Writerly Fate.
Some of that may have been from how his own characters weren't impressed and clearly thought he was a jagoff.
