Books Newsflash: Author Was a Dick
posted by on July 23 at 11:10 AM
This fascinating story in the Telegraph, by an author who’s preparing a novel about the life of Daphne du Maurier, says that Peter Pan author J.M. Barrie might have been “An obsessive stalker, an impotent husband, a lover of young boys,” and possibly a murderer.
It makes me wonder what Barrie, who scratched out ‘May God blast anyone who writes a biography of me’ in one of his later notebooks, would think of this:
i read the entire article. the whole "murderer" accusation is pure conjecture, and also bloody unlikely, if i know anything about 12 yr old boys.
Well who doesn't love young boys? Sheesh.
@2: How about W.C. Fields. But then again, he hated more than just young boys.
