Comments

I think a lot of those comments were in relation to the posts going on some fan community where people were still gushing over the older stuff he's moved away from now. In some ways the readership and the discussion (though I think it was more like LS meme reposting like "Who is your favourite LS character? Who is your least favourite?" kinds of things) came across as very young in comparison. I don't blame him for recoiling somewhat at that, because I had to leave that comm myself in the end, but I do agree you should have more care about what words you put out online about your fans.

In addition, I'll admit it's been a bunch of years since I read the Liquor stuff so the discomfort toward claiming a gay identity is something that I can't remember off the top of my head. But if you're right (and I'm inclined to think you are) then...yeah, I agree, that's quite disappointing. I feel like I'd wildly dislike a lot of his stuff now if I went back and reread it now that I'm Out and not a teenager anymore. Kinda sad, really.

I think I'd probably be the same way if I tried to reread any of it now. I attempted to reread Drawing Blood on a road trip 4 or 5 years ago, but couldn't really get into it and ended up putting it down after half an hour or so and not going back to it.

Lost Souls was always my favorite, but as people have mentioned elsewhere in this thread, it definitely had its problematic elements as far as the rape/violence towards women. I can't help but think if I read it now I'd have a far, far different opinion of it than I did as a teenager.
