Anyway, Free Indirect Style refers to third person narration in which the voice of the narrator and the point of view character are so close that the narration can reveal the thoughts and use the language of the character without specifying "he thought." In that way it is close to stream of consciousness. Examples that Wood uses are Henry James and V.S. Naipaul, among others.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05886890881221225553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9878002.post-1153801176937991822006-07-24T23:19:00.000-05:002006-07-24T23:19:00.000-05:00Cliff, Thanks for the daily updates on your Sewane...Cliff, Thanks for the daily updates on your Sewanee experiences. I'm having withdrawals from the Tin House conference, so love getting a close-up on Sewanee. I'd be interested to hear what James Wood means by "Free Indirect Style of Narration." Is the lecture published anywhere in essay form? Keep the posts coming. Karen McBrydeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
