The Ackroyd book, wasn't it?


It was.

I haven't read Bayard's take on that.


He does a similar thing. Murderer as named in the story is not actual murderer, etc. I thought it was fun, even if it was hard to take seriously.


He loses me when he start talking about independent action from characters and deep animosity on the part of the author, but his theory otherwise is sound.

I think it's fairly logical that genre fiction doesn't employ it as often. Legolas - 12/03/2010 01:21:06 PM 749 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 533 Views
