Educator, Media & Design Guru, Author, and Public Speaker
Describing characters in a clear and memorable way can be a challenge. Adams’ protagonist is a traveller, and the characters frequently get a succinct but satisfying description. Genghis Kahn arouses thoughts of miltary strength and brutality. Few recall a pot belly or little fur hats, and yet this works. Love the shift away from our expectations when Khan’s name is first mentioned.
