Goodreads asked Robert Long Foreman:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Robert Long Foreman I was just thinking about this while I was on a treadmill.

My favorite fictional couple of the moment is the couple from Dashiell Hammett's The Thin Man. Since I got married, I have been fascinated by marriages, and theirs is a good one.

All the particulars of the novel are forgotten, but I remember they are funny together. They drink an awful lot. They are in a novel called The Thin Man.

I also like the couple in Nicholson Baker's The Anthologist and Traveling Sprinkler.

Here's another one: Giovanni and the protagonist from Giovanni's Room.

This is fun.
