I have no idea what possessed Anne Rice to write Interview With the Vampire literally as an interview and taking place entirely as a conversation between two people in a room complete with dialogue quotation marks around the entire thing, but it's both so funny and also oddly charming to me hahaha

#like i dont think she ever stuck to that format again even though all of them are like #the confessions of the titular vampire character telling their life story to someone #but it's just so funny idk why like you'd think that would be maybe something you'd start out doing in the first draft #and then quickly realize ok maybe i should just make it a first person pov with them writing their memoirs or something #but idk at the same time i like that about it #and how that interviewer gets worked into the story later on #and honestly i guess it IS more in character that Louis would only do that if someone bugged him to like #as much as i love him he's one of the most passive characters ever #always being acted upon rarely doing anything of his own accord #which is why lestat makes a more fun central character than him for the later stuff #way way more proactive and excited to be there and stuff #p #vmpcs
