me when i lie
#i love th white because idk if hes making the narrator intentionally unreliable or not#the whole narration schtick in toafk is soooooo crazy i have NOT looked into it enough.....#like the entire ending completely disproves this so i dont think this was white’s actual authorial opinion#but idk he was a complicated guy LOL#Wait. well this quote is in a section that sort of centres around sir ector and HIS thoughts so i feel like it’s possible#that this bit of narration is actually from ector’s perspective? it’s a distant 3rd person with a present narrator#idk if that means that the narrator’s ‘opinion’ moments shift with the character they’re focusing on#or if this is meant to be read simply as an extrapolation of ector’s thoughts#not distant* i meant omniscient i know how pov works it’s just done in a really weird way in this book lol#and the way the narrator refers to you the reader all the time. its so good man#THE ANACHRONISMS!!!!!!! EVERYBODY SAY THANK YOU ANACHRONISMS
