Only until the end does the second perspective character leave the novel while the first-perspective character shifts to second. Interesting and definitely worth reading.<br /><br />Jonathan Lethem's Chronic City only has once narrative voice in the first perspective except for a series of letters written by either the narrator's fiance or a ghost-writer. I'd say the example works in this context since the letters reflect the rest of the novel and 'shake things up' by adding a second reality-tunnel.phodecidushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180270013030833624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-30108751371290538832012-07-21T12:45:09.421-07:002012-07-21T12:45:09.421-07:00Mike, re: your spelling, I thought "duelism&q...Mike, re: your spelling, I thought "duelism" was both intentional and brilliant.

Pull-back after pull-back opens into reality tunnel after reality tunnel.<br /><br />The other book, <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/108831.Motel_of_the_Mysteries" rel="nofollow"><i>Motel of the Mysteries</i></a> by David Macauley, juxtaposes the investigations of a future archaeologist with the "common sense" of the contemporary reader.<br /><br />I highly recommend both books.Thom Fooleryhttp://www.goodreads.com/review/list/2526106-thom-foolery?format=html&shelf=currently-readingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-24294833721106336172012-07-21T12:35:44.964-07:002012-07-21T12:35:44.964-07:00Exercise 1:

I think my favourite is Excession, which has viewpoints and conversations between the "Minds" of the ships, which are funny and intersting by turns, though the narrative acrobatics in Use of Weapons are only one step away from Illuminatus!; Banks said the style he originally wrote it in was too complex, and so he simplified it for publication.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-45336718177319682762012-07-18T08:24:50.325-07:002012-07-18T08:24:50.325-07:00Thanks, Tom.
