Honestly, my entire experience of reading this series was haunted by whatever the opposite of "death of the author" is. Aggressive presence of the author, working some stuff out.
LOL, YES
It's almost like white guys are rewarded with lots of money and publicity for working out their issues therapeutically in book series while when women do that, it's a Bad Thing! hah.
Oh yeah, the memoir by the brother was great -- that was really well-written, and so sad. I kept getting all these hints that Grossman really COULD inhabit people OTHER THAN Quentin! ....and yet, there we were, still stuck in Quentin for nearly the whole freaking series.
