Isn't the fact that author makes the narrator "unreliable" make him more reliable than any other? How can we know any narrator is to be trusted, in any work? If anything, unreliable narrators let us know that they are not to be trusted.

>>8514569
this is stupid.

I wish I could force all writers to write from 3rd person limited omniscient perspective. Then they might actually develop some sense of plot, narrative and story structure.
