Jonathan Swift must have really wanted to cannibalize poor children!
I’ll never forget bringing that up in a classroom and realizing adults had no idea it was satire.

Did I say King’s writing was satire? I said Jonathan Swift’s short story was satire.
As for King being in the Epstein files, do you have a source for this? I can’t seem to find it.

I believe it’s heavily implied due to his defense of Epstein.
