Tell us your favorite first person narrator! We will draw a name from the comments below to win a copy of The Story About the Story: Great Writers Explore Great Literature. “Put in a slightly different way, it was Charlie Chaplin, I think, who said that life up-close is a tragedy, but from a distance it’s a comedy. Somebody lipping on a banana peel is still funny, unless it’s you. And the genius of Salinger is that, speaking through Holden Caulfield, highly emotional, in time and unison with life, with events re-echoing still, he told us exactly what it feels like to feel too much.” ---From “Salinger and Sobs” by Charles D’Ambrosio, The Story About the Story: Great Writers Explore Great Literature
