Twitter has been surreal because I grew up thinking Joyce Carol Oates and writers like her were geniuses. I read her novel Zombie like three times. Black Water is good too, and whichever the one was about the kid who becomes a prophet. Yet she is consistently just goofy and condescending on twitter

I used to worship William Gibson too and that's been harder. He's the most lib person imaginable in Twitter and I have no idea how to reconcile it's the same guy who wrote Mona Lisa Overdrive.

For some reason Stephen King being a turbo lib hasn't hit me as hard, possibly because he made fun of himself in his books, so I already thought of him as kinda goofy.
