I-want-my-IWTV is Under Construction

About the Lestat thing, I think it’s also the way in which the novels try to convince you that he’s real. Anne has a lot of faults as a writer but she’s excellent at that. The only other writer I have read that makes you forget their stories are fiction and not history in that degree is Hugo. But what Hugo does with events, Anne does with people. And I think a lot of it stems from how much Lestat feels real to her bc that’s what makes the parts of the story that try to convince you feel genuine

“WHAT HUGO DOES WITH EVENTS, ANNE DOES WITH PEOPLE.”

YOU PUT IT IN PERFECT WORDS. That’s exactly it, Victor Hugo’s characters are great and well drawn, but because of the third person narration, they are a little less personal; but his take on the events of Notre Dame and Les Mis (for the two best known examples), feel like actual accounts of history.

Sure, Anne’s got chararacters that are immortal walking between heaven and hell (litereally) but at the same time, they’re talking to you and just feel so real.

#eloquent eloquence #SEE THIS is what I’m talking about when I say I’m picky about other vampire media, these are strong and rich characters first, and they’re vampires secondarily.
