I’ll be honest OP, this complaint feels so far detached from the actual book. I actually agree that I’d rather not read any books I consider not essential reading which are written by problematic and/or racist authors (IE: Nietzsche: read, Lovecraft: skip) but I feel there is a large difference between being an author with any issues and simply using inspiration for your books. There is nothing to suggest that he used the inspiration in a particularly unethical way. People are allowed to take issue with it, but it does not make it problematic.
