The Stranger's Woes
“A long, fantastic dream that had, nevertheless, ended. I had never walked the mosaic sidewalks of Echo, never sat in the Glutton Bunba with Juffin Hully. Because Juffin Hully didn’t exist. The others had never existed, either. All that existed was my endless loneliness and the boundless tenderness I felt toward my madeup characters. That’s right, characters. That’s why Sir Shurf Lonli-Lokli, the Master Who Snuffs Out Unnecessary Lives, the Mad Fishmonger, my imperturbable comrade in the most in...credible and dangerous adventures, so resembled the famous Charlie Watts. And that’s why Sir Kofa Yox looked like Commissioner Maigret. In what old Hollywood movie about a boxer had I seen Melifaro’s handsome face? Even Lady Melamori—my unfulfilled, breathless romance—looked a little like a young Diana Rigg. It all made sense now. I had no idea I was such a cinephile. And Tekki . . . Well, if you think about it, she resembled me. I don’t know from what associative cellar I had salvaged her black eyes and silver curls, but her manner of speaking was exactly like my own.MoreLess
