I recently queried about a note I found in "Heretical Fictions" on his
apparent sympathy for "Indians" in his later decades. I received a
reference to a masters Thesis from 1984 that argues he never actually
hated Indians, he was only using them as a rhetorical device to
criticize Western Civilization. My opinion is that the vehemence of his
comments belie this idea. I posted a short essay on this on my personal
website for those interested. https://bscottholmes.com/node/1909
