  1. Was Roald Dahl, rabid anti-Semite, on the list? No. Guess old Roald should've just written brilliant children's books and kept his big mouth shut about his political views. There's a novel by the infamously misogynistic writer VS Naipaul, though. I guess writers of color get pass on problematic views. But nothing for Rowling, who wrote seven out of the twenty best-selling novels, ever. Rowling is like a one-woman literary Beatles. But she crossed the trans activists (a tiny minority) and besides, she's white, anyway. Nothing for Dame Agatha Christie, either, who had the bad luck to be born white and English. Nothing for JRR Tolkien, either. White, English, and male. Bad combination, mate. Here's the good news: 100 years from now, no one will remember these writers' critics, but we will still be reading their books. Creating something immortal is the best revenge, don't you think?
