1 year agoThis feels like cheating because it’s auto fiction but Knausgaard writing himself is my favorite “character” because he is so relatable. I love the way he expresses shame as a fundamental emotion, and he doesn’t hold punches.
For more fictional characters, I love Lee from East of Eden, Mario Incandenza, and Baudolino (what a hoot!).
As a kid, I loved Matt from Wheel of Time (who didn’t?).
Edit: Artemio Cruz is another good one.
I google what my favorite authors have recommended.
