A writer may have a story to tell, a sense of plot, and strong characters, but for all of these to come together some key questions must be answered. What form should the narrator take? An omniscient, invisible force, or one - or more - of the characters? How to decide? Avoiding prescriptive instructions or arbitrary rules, Christopher Castellani here brilliantly examines the various ways writers have solved the crucial point-of-view problem by unpacking the narrative strategies at play in the work of writers as different as E. M. Forster and Grace Paley.
