JK Rowling is amazing because six years ago she deliberately torpedoed her reputation, she knew full well that what she would day would get her cancelled and she went for it anyway. And her charities are just as generous, her taxes are proportional to her income, she’s writing at the top of her form and in short seems to be a wonderfully balanced and grounded woman. I’m not a fan of all her twitter tweets but who’s perfect?
The hatedom paints her as hysterical, shrill, vicious and cruel, physically nasty and the list goes on. And it’s all a lie. Her art is dragged through slime and she keeps writing.
It makes me think of her early fame and the rest of Pottermania, like she must have been surrounded by lackeys and ass kissers and at some point she knew, this is all temporary. They’ll be cheering for my execution tomorrow if the winds change. And she was right.
She’s nothing short of heroic and I love her.
