(urth) Urth Digest, Vol 56, Issue 37

[David Stockhoff]

Doesn't the style of narration depend entirely on the narrator and his/her circumstances? That is, how else should the narrator of LS have narrated?

That scene-by scene style, without introspection, was certainly a shift after Severian's many-layered and discursive account. But Silk doesn't narrate LS.

And we didn't need LS to consist entirely of dramatic
scenes, in the sense of "The Cat in the Starfleet's
Attic".  I'm glad that in NS and SS, our narrators get to
ruminate occasionally.
