let's see, she was watching THE HUNCHBACK with her 2 year old in 1996. That makes Trinity 14 as of right now. Since lkh ret-con's EVERYTHING in her life, guess that Trinity is STILL 2 years old at this point.
lkh goes into GREAT detail in her earlier books about how traumatic her childhood was, although she doesn't let her daddy DESERT them - he just gets remarried, which, in lkh's book, is even WORSE than her real father's alleged desertion of her before her mother died. You're also right in saying that lkh hasn't EVER had a kind word to say about anyone from her early years, most especially her father and her grandmother. Isn't it WONDERFUL that she can get rid of a lot of her demons and traumas by flogging the people in her life that hurt, desert or disappoint her? SURE wish I had her problems!
As for referring to her as a feminist in the style of Sara Paretskey: pfui (to quite Nero Wolffe). Neither one of these two fictional characters (V. I. Warshawksy OR WhoreNita Blake) are feminists. I WILL say that Mrs. Paretsky DOES avoid the Mary-Sueisms but her Warshawski character is a whiney crybaby in an AWFUL lot of ways. I LOVED the first four books in the series, and completely lost interest when Mrs. Paretsky started writing about ever more IMPROBABLE cases that her PI needed to get involved with and solve, out of some sense of "civic duty" (shuddering). I personally know at least a dozen PI's, and even THEY say that Ms. Warshawsky has gotten less and less believeable as the series has gone on. I'll add at this point that ALSO saying that she's created a character as strong as the ones in the Raymond Chandler series of books, well, that just PROVES the point that she hates being a woman, wants a REAL penis, and hates the world around her to a great extent. "Hard-boiled" detectives are ALWAYS male, and the females around them are ALWAYS either Madonnas or whores, sometimes both at the same time.
u g h - and THEN some!
