Yeah, Howl really does embody one of those archetypes that are so much fun to read – Lymond is another example! I love them.
Thanks for the link! :D I look forward to reading it.
My favorite by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is The Palace of Illusions, which is a retelling of the Mahabharata (one of the two big fundamental Hindu myths), but it's a great introduction to the story even if you know nothing about it. The Mistress of Spices (magic realism set in California, about a woman who owns a spice store and sells cures to her customers) is also pretty good, and I remember liking Arranged Marriages (a collection of short stories), though I don't remember the details of that one.
