He's an adorable old man; I sat next to him when he lectured in a class I audited. He's such a writer, though. Like, he didn't answer a single question. He just talked in circles. He's a brilliant man, however. My father doesn't like him because he portrays Somalis in an "insincere" manner, but I'm not sure what role sincerity plays in fiction; it's art. You can't hold a person's depiction to some universal standard. Art doesn't work like that.
