Ah.
At last a question I cannot resist.
An N title with classic twists and turns: the Red and The Black.

Anna Karennina is a classic I have "not" read. As for Tolstoy....thank you for the closure.

When a relationship flows like a poem: All becoming has needed me.  :D
from Book of Hours by Rilke

To answer your question, Teartracks:
I am not sure of the answer. Perhaps The Wasteland by TS Eliot.
"I will show you fear in a handful of dust."

When it could just as easily have been The Four Quartets by TS Eliot instead.
What a pity!

the last guy I dated- he was definitely a fictional character who was N!

Who's that character on Alice in Wonderland ( Disney ) who keeps saying 'whoooo are you???'
He's a bit stoned on a mushroom ( guess they had fun with all that....)

My last boss in England was very much the Queen from Alice.

I have to say though my favourite N character is-
Ebeneezer Scrooge!
'cos he changes....

I adore Tennessee William's plays. Blanche is a DEFINITE N. But I love her anyways. Poor thing. I actually just reread that play.

I haven't read the story of the Three Pigs, but I remember seeing something about it. Is it the same author as Wicked????

Ahhh, Oscar WIlde. His story breaks my heart. What an awesomely, amazingly, witty and sharp person. He was destroyed. It made me so sad to go over his story. I didn't know that Harry was modeled after his lover. I guess Dorian was vapid, even in the beginning of the story. What about Basil? Was that who Wilde saw himself as? Then he was killed by Dorian (via Harry)? What do you think the book is that he referred to which made him turn so careless and cruel? I wish I could meet Oscar Wilde and revel in his genius. Wouldn't it be fun to be a bohemian, sitting around in a pillow tossed room with Wilde and friends? Did you know he was engaged to the girl who ended up marrying Brahm Stoker?

I am so glad you all like literature! I was itching to find someone to discuss all this with!

Love, Beth
