The Book Nook

Welcome to the Book Nook! This is the weekly thread for Avocados to discuss books we’re currently reading, recommendations, genre, and serious literary criticism.

This week’s recommended discussion: narrators with no name. It’s an interesting device, and can invite universality or distance, depending on how it’s utilized. What are some of your favorite examples, and how did it affect the narrative?

One caveat: because we’re here to use our words, this is a NO GIF/YouTube/social media embed zone (the OTs are full of clutter, and I want to keep that out of this thread).

upcoming topics:
1/23: problematic favorites (h/t sic humor)
1/30: protective of an author (h/t Hegel Exercises)
