Next Tuesday I will be hosting a meta-blog on this very
site. All writers and readers are welcome to participate, and it only takes one
sentence to pitch in. To participate, simply answer the following question:
Who is the most
despicable antagonist in fiction?
Give us the name, the source material, and if you please, a
sentence or two on why. Ideally you’ll tweet this to me @Wiswell or leave it in
the Comments of this post. It can be from any form of fiction, including sequential art. The answer will look something like this:
Ken Kesey says:
Screwtape from C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters. He spends
the whole book advising Wormwood on how to ruin a life and he’s insipid about
it.
Though I doubt Mr. Kesey will participate, you are welcome
to. I’ll be happy to you’re your name to any blog, page or book you please. Submissions end on Sunday, July
22nd. On Tuesday, July 24th, we'll see a master list of everyone's answers. Keep
your answer short, keep it honest, and we ought to have an interesting and
diverse list of what people see as despicable.
So, what do you think?
