I was about to pick up house in the Cerulean sea and a few of TJ klunes other books that I own and of course he’s problematic. It has to do with the 60s scoop that involved Native Americans and what horrible things happen to them. My father being a part of that as a Native American himself and a young teen when it happened. He basically used a traumatic time in history as inspiration for his story house in the Cerulean sea. Which is not okay and he’s coming out with a second book to that one next year. I don’t think the publishers should be going forward with this next book but of course they will cuz it’s going to make them money. Should I now tell people the talk about this book but he’s problematic and after that let them do their own research or not say anything?
I don’t read Klune because of exactly this. As a gay man one would think he would know better about using other peoples tragedy in such a shameful manner.
Most here will probably disagree with me but then again most people aren’t from indigenous cultures where they had this sort of horrific bullshit inflicted on them.
