Relatively quick piece of Lestat and Louis I did after learning that Anne Rice and her son are currently writing a screenplay for a miniseries adaptation of The Vampire Lestat. I remember when I first read Interview With A Vampire, Louis’ constant complaining drove me nuts.
And then I realized that Lestat just generally elicits complaints because he continually–inadvertently–ends up almost destroying Christendom. So really, I can’t blame Louis and his grandpa sweaters because he puts up with a lot.
How many of your actually feel that Louis’ visiting Lestat at the end of IWTV and the conversation that followed actually happened? Lestat insists that it didn’t, but both him and Louis are unreliable narrators…
Personally, I think it did, however, I think Louis put in some of his own scenes within his telling of the moment to provoke Lestat. That’s why Lestat says it didn’t happen, because it didn’t fully to the extent that Louis said it did.
I actually got the Barnes and Noble edition of the first three novels of the Vampire Chronicles for Christmas, so I’ll eventually be reading back soon to see if my opinion changes or if something suggests otherwise.
Yes, I’d like to know what ppl think about this, too! Pls comment/reblog with whether this happened, or if it happened differently than reported ;D
