What means "blasé horror"?
What means "blasé horror" in a sentence:
I just wish the whole book was in Doll’s voice, with his eruptions of unintentional humor, swathes of bathetic self-pity, and moments of blasé horror: he may have, at one point, killed a small girl prisoner who reaches for his hand, but it’s typical of Amis’s artfully elliptical method that I can’t be sure; I kept wincingly rereading the passage, as if through my fingers, trying to figure out what happened but not wanting to.

To be "blasé" is to be very uncaring and have a bit of a bored attitude, like you are very much above it and cannot be bothered.
So in this sense, the author seems to be emphasizing that the character is a particularly sociopathic individual because the character mentions horrible things as if they did not matter at all.

"blase" (bla-zay) means casual and complacent. I guess you know what horror means. So the writer of the text is accusing the author of the book of using horror in his book very casually, as though it was normal.

Peachey, thanks for the correction!

Quick correction! We say, "What does 'blasé horror' mean?" Native English speakers never say "what means" - it's a completely unnatural phrase.
