Steve Himmer of onepotmeal has an interesting entry today about the reliability of Frankenstein’s narrator and the expectations of readers from different periods. His comment on the layers of narration in Frankenstein reminds me of Paul Auster’s City of Glass and the questions about the true author of Don Quixote raised there.

Speaking of unreliable narrators, as someone who switched to a junior adaptation of Frankenstein as the deadline of a high school book report on the book was approaching and as someone who hasn’t read beyond the first 100 pages of Don Quixote, I probably have less to say on the subject than I’ve already tried saying.
