Yes! He's gone bat-shit crazy! He insists he writes "deep and meaningful treatises on humanity" (that's almost word for word a direct quote) and has banned talking about other authors on his fan site (along with any criticism of his own, er, work)because he doesn't write fantasy. I hear his hero starts beating up peace protesters in the last book! And don't even try to read interviews with--the pontificating...it's like his version of a magic power!
Yes. He was quite big on that--but he was just ripping off Robert Jordan's version of sadomasochism. I gave up on him when he started ranting about Communism for 700 pages (book five I think) and accusing our government of being out-of-control socialists. (?????) If only! (I mean, the government sucks, but...too socialist?? Only for the rich buggers on Wall Street....)
