I had meant to ask about Jimmy DeSade. He is my favorite, if that is the appropriate word, character in your earlier work: I love his complications.
He's also mine in the earlier works. In ...Between the Gargoyle Trees the scene where he is in the movie theatre, watching Salmaguni's film is perhaps one of the most beautiful pieces of modern literature I have ever read.
The last three pages of that story are heartbreakingly eloquent and beautiful.
For me to think that of something, it has to make me feel something profound, reach out, speak to me, something I can identify with on a deep core level. The last last five paragraphs are someting that emotionally, punched through my chest, grabbed onto my heart and would not let go. It made me weep, because I understood. Though my username is on no way related to the charater Jimmy DeSade, I see parts of his archetype in myself.
Currently, these days I rather like Deacon, Scarborough Pentecost and Starling Jane.
