Discuss. FF for me, of course, but I'm curious to see what the forum's opinion of him at large is.

He supported entusiastically the dictatorship in my country although he regreted some years ago. I'd say lean HP

Not a fan of his politics, but his writing cancels all that out. Huge FF.

I guess it's similar to Yukio Mishima, Luigi Pirandello and Pablo Neruda (to name a few): Literary geniuses with political views that are very easy to disagree with (specially when talking about Mishima). I tend not to consider political views when judging writers and their literary genius unless they were actually involved in government (like Neruda as a Senator/Presidential Candidate or Mario Vargas Llosa), so FF for me.

Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

One of my absolutely favorite writers and huge FF artistically, but moderately HP politically. Lean FF as a person overall.
