From Eroica with Love/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Informed Wrongness - Dorian's mother. Dorian narrates a story of his early life in Midnight Collector, and while he doesn't badmouth his mum, he's much more sympathetic to his father, who was, like Dorian, a homosexual aristocrat. Unlike Dorian, however, he married and produced kids (although he strongly favoured his son over his three daughters). Despite Dorian's equanimity, the story pretty much portrays his mother as a shrieking shrew who abandoned her son...but what would most people do if they discovered their spouse was encouraging their son to thieve, neglecting their daughters and likely having affairs?
