Here's an insanely brilliant question:

It says on your website that you like bad science fiction movies. What's your favourite?


Oh yeah, that question rocks.

Now see if you can do better.


Is this the narrative reason why Harry is going to die alone?

Also, I want to ask about Harry being a male character written by a male author who gets the shit beaten out of him - specifically physically (I haven't updated that section of my blog, but give me time and I will) - but I cannot actually remember if Harry does get hurt, physically, in every book. Run with it if you feel like it and can actually do something with it?

( On an associated note, I want to know if he reads Dick Francis. I can think of no one else who would be interested in knowing the answer.)

This is a late nineties, new millenial trend, I think. But Dresden embodies the magical/non-mundane human who by virtue of his non-mundaneness nominally belongs to and is ruled by a community of similar beings with similar powers. Harry is constrained and directed by these people, who ostensibly ought to share the bonds of community with him. Harry instead turns to others, mundane humans, other-magical peoples, others-who-are-outcasts, for help. Is magic, in and of itself, so unurbane that we can't be insular and unlonely at the same time?

(I cannot phrase simple questions. Sorry.)

I like that question, although I don't understand the second half of your post at all. *NM* - 01/05/2010 12:27:39 AM 252 Views

You could just look at the Feb. 2010 interview he did and ask follow-up sorts of questions - 01/05/2010 12:21:02 PM 682 Views
