My take on the 'engagement' with the characters in AtD. Sounds pretty banal,
but that's what I feel. I do not sympathise much with a lot of the
characters, especially episodical ones, in AtD. E. g., I don't give a damn
about Chevrolette McAdoo or Toadflax. But I really felt sorry for Webb, when
he was murdered and the retrieval of his body, no matter how 'postmodern'
the whole Jeshimon sequence was, proved a heart-rending episode for me. So,
I guess, with me it would depend on the character, hell, I even cringed when
major Marvy was being castrated in GR.
