 Red Dragon Thomas Harris

> I read this book several years ago and have not forgotten how the
> author portrayed a blind woman because it was so simple and true.
> It's really neat.  I imagine many folks probably know something about
> this already.

> The movie was released by the same name Red Dragon and I have not
> seen/watched/heard/listened to/experienced/engaged the movie.
>
> The Night Listener by Armistead Maupin I watched last night.  I read
> the book a few years ago.  Maybe others have read this.  Another blind
> woman herein and the author again writes so simply and knowingly.
> Again I said to myself that Maupin must know a blind person or
> possibly someone who works for Guidedogs for the Blind because he
> writes of  San Francisco routinely and this woman character works a
> guide dog.  Anyway, this is not important.  I just have a fondness for
> dogs and Labradors from GDB.  The way he writes about the guide
> dog/woman relationship within the woman's life is again... neat.
>
> The movie is really good and most of all, one scene featuring the
> woman and her guide dog in a coffee shop is excellent.  The subject is
> feeding the dog and whoever is behind the direction of the scene is
> again in my imagination someone who has experience and the knowing
> that comes with familiarity.
>
> The blind woman says, "Better not to start a habit."
>
> This is a good portrayal, even better on-screen in context.  The scene
> could have also worked if the blind woman reached beneath the table,
> down to the head of her guide dog and playfully lifted the Labrador's
> floppy and bottom-heavy upper lip repeatedly while speaking the
> response "No thanks.  Mamma told me not to take candy from strangers"
> a la Forrest Gump.
