That is also going to be some albatross around his own neck - perhaps one day he will try to rebel against that. Otherwise he will go through life not knowing whether he has any artistic credibility at all. To a writer that can be important. |
While it may seem that the only reason he was published is because of his parents the truth of the matter is he does have tallent. Every person that I have spoke, who has read the book loved it. Proving that it was more then favoritism that got him published.
