Character convergences

[jain]

Reading The Boys and their Baby by Larry Wolff (which is a fun yet frivolous book; good for a bit of light reading, but not exactly memorable otherwise), I came across the following lines:

"Conrad, you haven't said anything at all about yourself, says Adam. And there is a moment's silence while Conrad does not reply. He has straight blond hair, carefully combed, and very pale eyes, icy gray; odd, pointed features, the expression neither kind nor happy; a stiffly ironed white shirt, contrasting with Gary's bright red Stanford sweatshirt."

The book was published in 1988, too, so there's no doubt that this is entirely due to coincidence.

I remember that book! I enjoyed it when it first came out, but lost my copy ages ago. wonder if it's worth tracking down again?

and huh - wonder just who it is Conrad resembles? *g*
