That name is not in my memory.

OK, they translate as "Star" and "White".

Etoile and Blanche. Nope, nothing there.

By custom, you have the conch for a day before you reveal the author and give us another one.

Look, you're halfway there with Blanche.

The only Blanche I know in literature is Blanche Dubois. Maybe not even literature, but a movie.

Okay, I googled, but only to translate 'wood' into French. It is indeed 'bois', thus the sisters are from Tennesee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire. Good puzzle though!

Okay, in one of many incarnations, this next character's only thought was, "Oh no, not again". Go for it.

Agrajag.


I have a novel in mind, am I supposed to quiz you on its main character, author, or what?

I'll keep it simple(ish). The character I'm thinking of had the secondary nickname of Play with the children.

(In an entirely wholesome and perfectly legal way of course....he's not that sort of a character.


Character name, book title, and author would impress me but I'll give the proper character name if that's too obscure for you literati.

Edited for irrelevance.

Edited for for cardinal sin, I found it but I used Wiki...
Can someone please Godkill me!!!!

Hey not only did you break the rules, you smashed them into little pieces and jumped around on them.






Your shot.

I'm just gratified to see it's not just me and larry david that does that sorta shit.

I'll let someone else have a go.. it looked like a cool read though (according to Wiki )

It's quite a trip, I highly recommend you read it post-haste.

Still, it's your turn up. From you Ill-gotten gains...

Who is your mystery character?

Not "but a movie". It's originally a play.
And yes, Blanche and Stella DuBois! Good job. Mr Mills!

j.mills wrote:Hmm, so I need to supply someone you might just recognise but might not: not too obscure, not too obvious... How about Adso?

Adso wrote:I leave this manuscript, I do not know for whom; I no longer know what it is about...

Best. Book. Ever.

Sorry, just felt the need to say that.

The_Metatron wrote:What you were looking for earlier was the author who goes by the pen name of Trevanian. The first character comes from a book titled Shibumi. Highly recommend it.

Highly.

I could've got that if I'd seen this thread sooner. It's a book I've read many times. It's even better for having visited the region in the Pyrenees. The people there are as described within and the scenery is truly breathtaking.

Well now, that's extremely cool. How were you received there, as an outsider?

I'm lost. Who was the Play with the children guy?
