Re: Cormac McCarthy
There's always a sense of vindication when learning an author you can't stand was in fact a total scumbag in real life.

I hated the NYT article they posted in response to this. Instead of discussing McCarthy's sexual assault and the prevalence of this behaviour among powerful men, they decided to focus on whether Augusta Britt "really" influenced his writing 🥴
And now I ended up googling about both McCarthy and Munro. Well, damn.
