That was probably easier to do when the sum total of your knowledge about the author came from a one-paragraph blurb on the back of the book, if that.

Now you can open a browser tab and in ten minutes, discover things about an author that almost force you to radically reevaluate his or her work.
My line for seperation of art and artist has always been "does buying this work benefit the person who made it or the people who share his ideology?" I refuse to buy anything by Orson Scott Card because I don't want any of my cash to go to that rear end in a top hat, but I'll sometimes get H.P. Lovecraft's old work because as far as I checked his estate are just regular people who had a terrible ancestor.
