Anyone else cursed with the inability to change the image of a character in your head once you initially think of one? Thomas Covenant is Louis Theroux in my mind and I can't do anything about it.

also good book, I still don't really like Covenant though, sure he's multilayered but constantly expecting him to snap back rudely at someone who's only being nice to him constantly gets old quick.

Storytelling is my achilles heel, character conjuration I'm fine.

i feel like i have a pretty good imagination but i don't picture distinct faces for characters. i don't really see a movie in my head. it's more like rapidly shuffling through a slideshow of associated imagery.

Covenant is the author's self-pitying self-insert. He's the least likable protagonist ever.

Just read DFW's essay on McCain 2000, and I'm not sure whether to picture him as RFK Jr. or Tim Waltz.

I hate when they wait to describe a character and then when they do it undermines my image of them.
