ain't NOBODY that good...
Sep. 22nd, 2004 07:26 pmRan across this at Metafilter yesterday - Anne Rice slams her critics, while suggesting she's too good for an editor (scroll down to "Blood Canticle", her latest).
Uhm, puhleese! Some further thoughts:
( thoughtful ranting. No, really! )
For my own part, I'm not going out of my way to get her latest books; I started "Armand" and wasn't interested/fast enough to finish it in the one week the library gave me (an indication that enough people DO like her current writing enough for her to be on the 7-day/no renewals stack). I'll always love the first three, and be grateful that it opened my mind to vampire fiction by other authors.
And I'm sure not going to take her ventings personally - it's not like I know this person.
But yes, she should get an editor - can't hurt and if it can take her back to the quality of writing shown in "Lestat", it will emphatically help!
