This is a short but sweet tale packed full of themes and conflicts facing the characters. It touches on sexual assault, prejudice, tragedy, love , and self-acceptance. It’s all handled masterfully and again it’s amazing how much Headstall can pack into such a short story. This easily could have been spun out into a much longer entry, and yet it has a perfect stopping point. I can’t recommend this story enough, if you haven’t had the privilege yet, check it out now.
This is the one I did for the Feature Story blog post a year or so ago... unfortunately I don't think people are really going back and checking out the old posts. Maybe I should copy/paste the meat of that review into another one... Not sure if that would be against rules or something.
Why are you being a Ming apologist? Giving him some kind of personality disorder would at least provide a reason for why he's such a horrible person. If he's not a sociopath he's a least a clinical narcissist.
I think the only way I could hate the character anymore would have been for the production company to somehow have gotten ahold of Title and asked him to play the role.
