Hello, all. A short-time lurker with a new
thread, if there are any takers...
The subject has come up here
and there in the past, but I'd love to hear about any writers
you feel are especially adept at First Person PRESENT TENSE
narration. I was reminded by the poster who mentioned John
Burdett's 'Bangkok 8,' an East-meets-West thriller/mystery
that I enjoyed very much, and which makes skilled use of this
viewpoint. Coincidentally, I am re-reading Andre Dubus III's
masterful tragedy 'House of Sand and Fog,' which is also done
this way. Both have a lot of ease with bringing the reader
into the protagonist's mind and worldview.
Anybody else have any F-P-P-T
narratives to recommend?
