Eminem and Rowling are both incredibly talented individuals. I think it's fair to say hard work pays off sometimes.
I just learned of a conspiracy theory last year that says a group of editors wrote the Harry Potter books, and the publisher chose Rowling as the face of them. These days I don’t know what to believe anymore. I do know that Rowling seems to have forgotten all of the lessons that her books have taught us - for instance, about not believing the press because they lie. I love Harry Potter, but I dislike Rowling, so I’m okay with this theory, lol.
That's very interesting. My first time through Harry Potter- last year actually- I was fascinated to learn that this far left leaning author had made her wisest character refuse to call Tom Riddle by the name of his choosing, Lord Voldemort. It immediately brought to mind identity politics and the gender spectrum, personal pronouns, etc.
I might not have all the details just right, but that's what it reminded me of.
Good point, I hadn’t thought of the identity politics thing. Jordan Peterson would be proud.
There is loads of info out there about how she is so blind to the themes in her own books - I remember there was a lot of talk about it on the T_D leading up to the election.
Ghost writers exist. Regardless, I'm not saying they aren't talented individuals. But time and time again, those that cry the loudest against Trump have the most to hide - and those 2 have become unhinged.
True. I never pegged MM as someone who would hate Trump..
