CoL49 Group Reading

[J K Van Nort]

Pierce’s late night phone call voices swing back and forth between authority figures (elect) and disenfranchised (preterite). The Transylvanian embassy and the Nazi gestapo alternate with the comic negro and the Pachucos. The Shadow was an elect who acted as a vigilante in cooperation with the police like Batman. Is this an indication that Pierce might have vacillated between seeking wealth/power and something opposed to that, ending as a tool of the elect? I’m not familiar with the Shadow, but what little I know indicates a vigilante type character.
In solidarity,
James
