Alright, kids, it's time for me to tell you what I think of Anne Rice. Brace yourselves - it's going to be an unpleasantly twisty ride.
Before we begin, though, a quick note on another issue entirely, so as to avoid any possible (and by "any possible", I mean "one of the many possible") wanderings off on tangents later on. ( Let's talk about polyamory. )
Now, granted, I could be reading altogether too much into this (or, as Mrs Rice puts it, "interrogating the text from the wrong perspective). Because in Anne Rice books - especially among the vampires - the boundaries between sexual attraction, romantic attraction, and platonic affection are somewhat blurred. More on that later.
Onward to the main event!
( Mild spoilers for Queen of the Damned, and mentions of other Vampire Chronicles, if I'm supposed to warn for that )
Obligatory life update, Plus Advertising: Went to a party at the Japanese Embassy yesterday to celebrate the launch of a competition. If you live in the UK and draw manga, you might be interested in entering Manga-Jiman 150; comment me for more details.
Reipan out!
