Okay, there's this character in this book I'm reading, Another Roadside Attraction, and who does he remind you of?
The P-I reporter had been right about the man's grooming: neat. Equally correct concerning his olive-and-rust checkered suit: natty. He was not handsome in the traditional American sense. His face was too soft for that-- soft, sensitive, moon-cheeked, shy-smiled, babyish. He was... well, let's use the word: cute. Women would probably find him attractive... But for all his apparent sensitivity, there was grit in him, too. His eyes were as full of mischief as Jack the Ripper. He could, it was plain to see, be as ornery as dried bird shit. He had sandy hair and was of medium height and build. Well, it reminds me of him. If you don't know of whom I speak, you're no kind of Superfan, and get out of my face. |
