A storytellers craft can often be judged by how convincingly the narrative captures the identity and personality of its characters. In this book, the characters who take center stage are strange firstperson narrators: they are fascinating because of how they are at odds with what the reader would wish or expect to hearwhile remaining reassuringly familiar in voice, interactions, and conversations. Combining literary analysis with research in cognitive and social psychology, Marco Caracciolo focuses on readers encounters with the strange narrators of ten contemporary novels, including Bret Easton Elliss American Psycho, Haruki Murakamis HardBoiled Wonderland and the End of the World, and Mark Haddons The Curious Incident of the Dog in the NightTime. Caracciolo explores readers responses to narrators who suffer from neurocognitive or developmental disorders, who are mentally disturbed due to multiple personality disorder or psychopathy, whose consciousness is split between two parallel dimensions or is disembodied, who are animals, or who lose their sanity.A foray into current work on reception, readerresponse, cognitive literary study, and narratology, Strange Narrators in Contemporary Fiction illustrates why any encounter with a fictional text is a complex negotiation of interlaced feelings, thoughts, experiences, and interpretations.
