At The Barnes & Noble Book Blog Jill Boyd tagged five of the worst fictional characters to invite to Thanksgiving. One entry on the list:The Gladneys (White Noise)Read about another entry on the list.
OK, maybe it’s unfair to peg the Gladneys as unpleasant holiday guests. Professor Gladney is, after all, a learned scholar, and Babette is quite the conversationalist.
