I went to his web-site to read some of his masterpieces. They can't be printed here. Especially the one titled American Football. His crap reads like a posting at DU. A pre-adolescent rambling potty mouthed twit who just learned dirty words.
For the past 25 or so years he's focused on disguising radical left diatribes as "dramatic writing."
It must suck to be 75 years old and realize that all your best work was done by the time you were 29, that you've been living off that 29 year old's reputation for almost 50 years and that all you have to look back on is a life of chasing fame and committing adultery - no kids, no lasting accomplishments, no faith, no hope, just politics and bitterness.
Sad, sad bastard.
I wouldn't change places with him for all the whiskey in Ireland.
