And then Highway 13 came out and I was, you know, even more excited by that, too.
Right, which is about a fictional serial killer.
And the killer himself is never sort of center stage, right?
It's all about the characters who are in the periphery.
And this story, Hostile, seems to kind of take that spirit as well and embrace it.
where you think the story is about one thing and then it moves to something else.
It's constantly sort of subverting your expectation.
Although I would argue that's only one of many mysteries in this story, which is why I love it.
Hostel I've never told my husband this story, but I suppose I will eventually, on some sticky night in, say, February, as we lie naked in bed with the ceiling fan set at its highest speed.
we'll be waiting for a storm to bluster in from the south, and I'll see the relevant part of him lying flushed and heavy against his thigh, and I'll think about how I'd consider taking it in my mouth if the room were cooler by as little as two degrees.
That will remind me of Roy and his wife, and I'll feel like talking about them.
And I'll start by telling my husband that I used to know this couple who, on learning they were going to have a baby, began taking long walks together in the evening.
I might not use their real names.
It would be hard, though, not to reveal Roy's, which seemed almost to have shaped his personality.
His given name, much to his embarrassment, was Royal, and in defiance of his parents' grandiosity, he cultivated an unroyal persona.
He was a humble guy, self-effacing.
He lived his life, at least his public social life, as if he were answering a survey about it.
If someone asked, how was your trip to Fiji, Roy?
His answer might be, I'd describe myself as having enjoyed it.
The trouble was that he took his humility to such lengths that he actually came across in the end as kingly, detached, benevolent, devoid of individuality.
