Have you read Sherlock Holmes Was Wrong by Pierre Bayard? He grounds it in some dubious psychology, but the main part of it, where he picks apart The Hound of the Baskervilles is very good.


Had to re-read Hound of the Baskervilles along with it... along with the Agatha Christie he includes. Can't remember which one that is now.

I do remember being upset that I hadn't read one of the books he dissects, so then I knew the answer, as it were. The right and the wrong one. :P


The Ackroyd book, wasn't it?
I haven't read Bayard's take on that.

I think it's fairly logical that genre fiction doesn't employ it as often. Legolas - 12/03/2010 01:21:06 PM 804 Views
Well, isn't Erikson notable for his unreliable POVs? Ghavrel - 14/03/2010 12:57:25 AM 635 Views

I think that unreliable narrators tend to be written by more experienced or skillful authors. lord-of-shadow - 12/03/2010 06:56:06 PM 593 Views
