For 21 years I waited for the sequel to Lovelock, then the co-writer died. Card is a piece of shit so I don't know if I would even want to read anything else by him.

I just found out about his being a piece of shit... honestly didn't know a thing about him. Definitely would have reconsidered this post.

I try to separate the art from the artist, but Card, Eric Clapton, and Van Morrison are testing me.

I find it easier to separate the art and the artist if the artist doesn't inject their views into the art in an overt way. Like, I'm into black metal, and the scene has a lot of douches. It's sometimes hard to find the artists without even just ties to problematic musicians but at least if their lyrics aren't hateful I can just not pay for the music or go to their shows.
