My mother has dementia, and is starting to deteriorate rapidly. I know that we don't have too many more holidays that she will be "herself," so I treasure the ones we have left.
If you still have it, I would love High on Life. It's been on my wishlist for a while.
Thanks again for doing this! I'm grateful to you as well!
An unreliable narrator typically refers to a narrator that might lie to you (the reader) either intentionally or not. A couple of popular examples are Holden Caulfield from "The Catcher in the Rye," and Humbert Humbert from "Lolita."
In Holden's case, he is considered unreliable because of his youth and inexperience, while Humbert Humbert is desperate to make the reader "understand" his attraction to a child, and emphasizes a sexuality in the girl that is only evident to him. He pretends that he is a victim to her advances, when he is the one in control.
To the OP: Have you read either of those books?
