soul city
Not every character was a good fit. Lila Mae Watson from The Intuitinionist applied to be elevator inspector, but despite her expertise Humbert judged her far too plain for Soul City and sent her packing. And don't even mention the insane little drummer boy Oskar Matzerath from The Tin Drum, crazy Dr. Charles Kinbote from Pale Fire, annoying Enid Lambert from The Corrections, snot-nosed Saleem Siani from Midnight's Children, simpleton Jesse B. Semple, reluctantly slutty innocent Erendira (who was never left alone by her heartless grandmother), and that jealous wimp Gwyn Barry from The Information. They were all but impossible to deal with, as you can imagine. And no matter how much they docked her pay, Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout simply would not take the garbage out.
- More Touréness.
