One of the major characters has an absurdly long name, and he insists on being called by his full name, and the narrative text obliges

Also Sassy D is back

(D is best when he has some boisterous dude or sassy girl that refuse to let him hang in a corner alone

ESPECIALLY when he can't just leave

actually, it's kind of telling the better novels are the ones where for one reason or another D really doesn't have an option to leave.
