There really are very few examples of good "collaborative" books out there. And even in something like Good Omens, I found it pretty easy to tell which were the Terry Pratchett sections and which were the Neil Gaiman ones. I guess there is simply no substitution for one hyperfixated recluse fugueing paragraphs onto paper. (I hope there is no substituting it for my sake at least)
Stephen King is a lib and I don’t think he’s written anything particularly good in 30+ years, but the stuff he wrote when he was bonkers on drugs and booze… I think it’s actually veeery good.
being a lib is about control after all (credit to disco Elysium), so it would make sense for a mind that is out of control to be more distant from libitude
