Hunter could be difficult. Monumentally selfish, nasty about any weakness or hesitation of those he was dealing with or wanting something from, curt and insensitive to the point of cruelty, famously mysogynistic, racist, anti-semitic, and loutish, and gross when intoxicated, loud, falling down, throwing up.

He could also be extremely charming, articulate, wickedly funny, intellectually stimulating, and vulnerable late at night, in the dark, on the phone, reminiscing and confessing to painful isolation, loneliness, childhood weaknesses, and secret fears.

He was awful and deeply annoying, but never dull.

thanks for posting this up here, Mr Rinzler it’s a pleasure to read.
