How?

>>8432377
The whole big middle section is a recount of the lives of Belano and Ulises, though it's not them looking back on it, so yeah, not sure either how this fits
>>8432394
This though. This fits. Also Amulet.

death of ivan ilyich

>>8432399
Why death of ivan? It starts with his death and then goes back, but it's not he himself looking back. So technically we don't have evidence the main ever kooks back over his life. I'm remembering that correctly right?

My Struggle by Karl Ove Knausgaard.

>>8432410
nah he definitely reflects on his life and "realizes the errors of his ways" and all that shit

>>8432423
Oh right, he does near the end start to reflect. Gotcha. I was thinking about the framing device with his death in the beginning ×)

For something by a more modern writer, Wolf in White Van by John Darnielle, who's probably more well known as a musician.

I was worried because of his friendship with John Green, but it's an excellent, stripped-down character study.
