I'm reading Kazuo Ishiguro. Haven't read him until now but he's pretty alright. I'm also following along with /lit/ reads Ulysses and I finished the last poem in James Dickey's 10 year long collection so I will start reading Ezra Pound's poetry next.

5000 words today but not on the project I actually need to finish. Starting to enjoy writing as a daily activity now that I've become more comfortable and doubting myself less.

I just finished reading Crime and Punishment recently, and the character Svidrigailov, while things around him are described through the story, is mostly ambiguous and creepy. You don't really get to understand him until the final act where we learn how depraved, criminal and unaccountable he is. That character had the most profound effect on Raskolnikov's redemption, only second to Sonia I'd say. So I think yes, you can shock readers with a vague character that we only get to understand near the end, it can work.
