Lestat here. And this time, Im going to answer two questions. The first is from Bridgett Davenport: Lestat, excluding vampires, who is the most interesting non-human you have met? ---- I would say the ghost of Roger whom I encountered in Memnoch the Devil. Roger was the first of my victims and maybe my only victim ever to come back from the dead to talk to me in ghostly form. He terrified me (temporarily anyway), and fascinated me. This was my first real experience with ghosts and how ghost incarnate. I dont want to think of any of my other victims coming back to haunt me, ever. I have come to no first conclusions as to what Rogers visitation actually meant. ---- Second Question: From Elise Miller: Lestat, youve seen so much and lived through so many years of human turmoil, does the current state of humanity irk you, or do you pay little attention to it? --- Its the opposite, Elise. Im in awe of the current state of humanity, the inventiveness, the imagination, the technological knowledge, the artistic fertility, and the huge areas of the globe that are at peace. Im more than ever optimistic about the future of humankind, and all the more sad that I can witness human progress but never be part of it. But Im an optimist by nature, I must admit. Im profoundly grateful that Im able to watch all this from the sidelines, and glory in the new music, the new art, the new humanistic philosophies being developed all the time.
