In this week’s reading, things settle down, and then heat up, as Interview with the Vampire covers the middle and end of Louis and Lestat’s time at Pointe du Lac. Olivia and Aisling discuss the ethics of white writers using slavery in their stories, as well as the very specific internet concept we see in the way Louis talks about Babette Freniere. Other topics include Louis’s portrayal of Lestat and his backstory, the manners of the ruling class, and the logistics of vampires needing an invitation to enter a home.
