The dialogue forms these characters into more clear, distinct, and full humans than what most authors ever pull off. They are at once varying levels of clever, optimistic/pessimistic, artistic, and have dramatically different motivations. I usually find that an author's characters are (probably) just reflecting different aspects of the author's own character, and are thus limited to being less than a full person, lest they overlap too much with other characters. I don't know how Wilde conceives of these characters and so effortlessly gives them complete voices of their own, but he does. I'm thoroughly enjoying this, and even just having barely cracked it open, I can heartily recommend it. - -> Note: This was ported from my old gemini capsule, still served on gemini at `gemini.ctrl-c.club/~tjp` |
