The focus on how the father is dysfunctional without any mention of what successful writers have in common (an immutable writing schedule) is astonishing to me. That's more important than anyone's feelings or internal states, none of which amount to the slightest iota of accomplishment. The focus on the issue of control is entirely secondary and completely uninteresting. I suppose people write what they know, though.
