11. He was a New Yorker and when he tried small-town life he didn't like it.

He felt everyone was conservative and in everyone's business. (His wife was an alcoholic who was institutionalized, and the gossip mill disgusted him.)

When Shirley Jackson's THE LOTTERY came out he gave people copies of it as a perfect summation of the small town mentality.
