Lonos Oboe posted:Likewise with Phillip K. Dick. Knowing the guy had a obscenely hosed up upbringing, was often homeless, was mostly off his head on drugs and was married 5 times can help you from judging him on some of his points of view or opinions because you know he comes from a very unique place and his perspective is probably worth hearing even if you don't subscribe to it. I really think that is the balance. Philip K Dick is a great example for this thread, for sure. There was a biography on him, "I Am Alive And You Are Dead", that's as fascinating as any of his stories. Knowing that he was actually bugged and harassed a lot by the FBI helps make you realize exactly what his worldview is about. Yes, he was on drugs and mentally ill, but his fear of all-encompassing authoritarianism is actually well founded. That's one of the big reasons why a lot of his work is so enduring. To bring it back to comics, here's a comic about his religious experiences.
