This has actually been discussed before, talking about how Hamilton is slowing time within her series, so as to keep Anita in her late twenties... apparently forever. Over the course of the whole series, we've had what, three years pass? Four, five, max?

(I can't remember how old she was at the start of the series, so maybe someone can help me out here. I think she's been twenty-seven for a number of books now).

But I recently realized that apparently time is only warping for Whorenita and her carousel of penii. They have only aged a few years (or not, if vampiric), but LKH makes mentions of "the eighties" in the far past tense (in terms of derogatory dress criticism, hilariously enough). And her last book has Nathaniel dragging Whorenita to go watch Peter Jackson's "King Kong," which came out two years ago. (On a side note, I'm relieved that she didn't pay attention to the movie -- since it's a man-woman-ape love triangle, she'd be demanding sexxors)

Meaning that Whorenita, Nathaniel and the rest have aged a mere three-ish years since the early nineties, right up to 2005. That's more than a decade that has been compressed into just a couple of years! Is LKH really so deluded that she thinks she can bend time within her novels and not have anyone notice?
