You don't have to answer this, haha, but I wondered if you are interested in reading a rather old western novel that contains a character that reminds me very much of Geto. It's one of my favorite books, actually, and that character is the reason I re-read it so much. It's called 'East of Eden' by John Steinbeck. In short, it's a story that heavily draws parallels to the bible, specifically Abel and Cain. Adam Trask is one of the main characters and he has a Chinese servant in his household simply named Lee. After Adam falls into a depression because his wife leaves him, Lee raises his twin boys. Other things happen as well, but I mostly skip it whenever I read because I love Lee the most. He is very maternal-coded, he's the voice of reason and caution.

I've left this question in my inbox for an entire year. Now that retrospring is shutting down i'll answer it.

I'll check on the book!
