Now that you brought it up, it's really not the fantastical elements that bother me, just the fact that we can't leave real people well enough alone. So in answer to your question, no, I do not take issue only with Ammonite. But people will be people. I can hardly confront Homer and Shakespeare about their livelihoods, and even if I could, they would rightly tell me to fuck off.

I'd argue that lots of people go great lengths to be remembered, and that it's generally considered a great honor if people are telling stories about you long after your death, even if they're taking some liberties with the details.
