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. |
Ok Brian, you just said that he should succeed on his own merits. Those who have read the book so far seem to have enjoyed it, without knowing that he may have family in the business. Just because they publish doesn't mean that they wrote it for him either. So, I'll slap your wrist and tell you to read the book itself before saying that you despise the author for something he has no control over. Lecture over
