I remember reading Ed Albee's lightly fictionalized autobiography. There was so much gross racism and misogyny that it just... You got the sense you were being preached to by the author, not shown a shitty character that the author created.

Looked him up and sure enough, he was a white supremacists and not really any kind of preservationist. He just wanted to be sure that when all the resources were used up, white people had got all the benefit.

Really sucked. Monkey Wrench Gang was pivotal to me growing up. Anyway, "Show me your hero and I'll show you a bum" as that old WWII ace said.
