I’ll wait on my DQ.

Ratso Rizzo? If not, DQ for you.
That brings us to 20 DQs, with three outstanding for SCAdian, one for the Professor, and possibly one for Elendil’s Heir.
What do we want to do now? Use those up, or do you want a clue of some sort, or something else entirely?
Typically at this point everyone who has earned a DQ this game gets to ask one more DQ in the form of “Are you Firstname Lastname?”, after we’ve had a chance to mull it over.
So we have a fantasy or horror (or another form of literary genre not covered above) male protagonist, whose last name doesn’t start with R, from an American book by a male author that appeared after 1960, not part of a series, not adapted for film or TV, who isn’t married and doesn’t carry a gun, and set in the present day world (more or less). Did I miss anything?
Sure, that’s fine by me.
Previous IQ:
Are you a guy nicknamed after a small herbivore? - This was Rabbit from the Updike books.
Think think think.
That was Rorschach, from Watchmen.
I’ve been thinkin’ for days, and all I come up with is Science Fiction. I’m stumped.
