His racism was more of a personal foible than a driving factor of his life; his weird writing WAS the driving factor. There are multitudinous artists of many types who were racist, misogynist, religious bigots, &cetera -- for most of them, their popular perception does NOT focus or hinge upon this aspect; if it is brought up at all, it is merely mentioned in passing. Unfortunate that so many have become fixated on the Old Gentleman's Achilles Heel... <br /> Sorry to preach to the choir on this. I do enjoy re-reading your blog.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01768485638405275932noreply@blogger.com
