Well, Patrick, how many books sell about nice guys?

Put another way, if an author is going to write things about an "average Joe," don't you think he'd gloss over the good and concentrate on the bad, assuming he wanted to maximize sales?
Not sticking up for Fassbinder, whom I didn't know (of course), but I'd take rumors for a grain of sea salt.
Anyhow, who cares if Raphael was egotistical?
Or that Proust was condescending and cruel?
Or Dostoyevsky mean-spirited and violent?
I'm not looking for buddies among artists.

Not mine.
I don't care.
I like Wagner's music.
I like to read Kierkegaard (sp?).
I bet you've enjoyed de Sade???
