11. In her flight from Swain's estate through winter London, Kumiko briefly warms up in a noodle seller's stall. The noodle seller is kind to her, and probably he is also an agent of her father's, placed there to protect her. What is his nationality?
From Quiz William Gibson Books
Answer:
Korean
From 'Mona Lisa Overdrive' where almost all the characters that count are female - and very well outlined characters at that. Kumiko is a clever, courageous child and you cannot help but feel sympathy for her. Angie is a clever, courageous young woman. Her lookalike Mona is less clever and not especially courageous, but an equally well drawn character who inspires sympathy because she is so absolutely helpless and dumb in a harsh world. :) Even the mature Sally = Molly from 'Neuromancer', although an absolute bitch and a killer, shows some sympathetic traits in her mother-daughter-like relation with Kumiko; and of course, she is also clever and courageous. Even the major villain (and a convincingly evil one), the personality-construct of 3Jane Tessier-Ashpool, is female. Together with some strong minor male roles, 'Mona Lisa Overdrive' has an assortment of well laid-out characters that makes the book one of my favourites among Gibson's works.
