There's very little that would rattle him, mostly because he's the Hannibal Lecter of the novels. <br /><br />Most of the teasers I've been posting have been scenes with Xantos (probably 'cause he's my fav character, lol). <br /><br />As for other sides, I've posted a few where he shows a compassionate side (and there are others in the novel that show it). <br /><br />I'll post something different (something without Xantos) next week. :)J.F.

I did feel like the language was a little clunky at times - misused prepositions, occasional punctuation errors, small things that trip me up.<br /><br />I get the impression that a lot of these teasers revolve around Xantos in some dominant role. Is that right, or am I going crazy in my old age? It's making me wonder if Xantos is ever threatened or unbalanced - if there are sides of him that we're not seeing because Xantos is always in control of the scene. I often find that the most powerful moments come from upsetting the usual power dynamic of a scene. Just curious! :)Parametrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253928288479596268noreply@blogger.com
