In this very personal sampling, Alberto Manguel explores some of literature's best-known characters including Jim from Huckleberry Finn, Phoebe from Catcher in the Rye, Job and Jonah from the Bible, Quasimodo, the Hippogriff, Little Red Riding Hood, Captain Nemo, Hamlet's mother, and Dr. Frankenstein's Monster. In this book, written in his signature engaging and erudite style, Manguel examines how characters we think we know suddenly shift from behind their conventional stories and, far from accepting the roles assigned to them, demand enough wiggle-room to teach us about the complexities of love, loss, and life. An intimate introduction and Manguel's own "doodles" complete this delightfully magical book.
