Alice in Blunderland
|
|
Alice H is currently fixated on characters who are heroin addicts - first there was Sam in Skylight Confessions and now in The Third Angel there's another opiate-addled musician. The portrayal of both characters totally lacks credibility as she constantly refers to them as having 'dilated pupils'. Alice is clearly 100% convinced that your pupils become huge on heroin and no Amazon reviewer (or fact checker, or big shot editor) is going to tell her otherwise. In fact, as most novelists and even averagely well-informed human beings do know, they go tiny. Hoffman is just re-working old ideas and paying little attention to convincing characterisation.
