Father was a novelist and screenwriter who wrote this brave piece on believing sexual assault victims while also jumping at the opportunity to work with their abusers. He's effectively saying "I believe you, I can empathize because I've had a similar experience, I just have too much to gain personally by neglecting your demands for justice".
Grandmother also a novelist, wrote for the Daily Worker and then left the Communist Party in '52
Grandfather also a novelist, also a CPUSA member, attended a Deweyite college, worked as an executive in a pharmaceutical company for ten years (starting around the time he and his wife presumably left the party).
“I believe you, I can empathize because I’ve had a similar experience, I just have too much to gain personally by neglecting your demands for justice”.
his cognition dissonance is earth-shattering. he literally points out the protective shield around famous rapists and then just doesn't acknowledge what he's doing by working for Polanski in full knowledge of the fact that he's a rapist.
I was just reading about his family.
