Thomas Ligotti is really the greatest living fiction author from America. I feel so jealous that Americans can understand the full context oh his stories along all of the subtleties of American life, language and its symbols. It is sad to see Americans don't appreciate the presence of such titan among them and then wonder why art is dead. I guess this is fate of all great authors that they become important only after they die. Also there is certain amount of nasty litfic goblins who don't recognize Ligotti's genius, even discredit him whenver his name comes up even though they not even read his books because they're too busy in their academic circlejerks that nobody cares about outside of boring academic shitholes and that's how they perpetuate their careers by kissing each other's asses.
I like him, but I do wish he would repeat himself less often. I swear sometimes he repeats the same expression two three times in the same paragraph.Also anti-natalism is cringe.
