Consider how the narrator is opinionated, omniscient, and addresses the reader directly. Can the narrator be considered their own character? Why or why not? What does the narrator add to the story? How would the story be different if the narrator were limited to one character’s perspective?

Consider the chapters that take the form of interview transcripts. How do they differ in style from the rest of the novel? What purpose does this serve?

Consider how the narrator withholds key details from the reader until near the end of the novel. Why do you think the narrator does this? What effect does it have on the story and plot?
