Ian, can we look forward to "unreliable Narrator" coming to mean "Rubbish Reader of Audiobooks?" Clare ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian Macrae" <ian.macrae1@xxxxxxx>

But RNIb use it all the time now in relation to talking books. Howler, there is an inconsistency because they say at the beginning "the book is read by David Thorpe", not narrated or "The narrator is". And surely it's beyond dispute that the narrator of David copperfield is the eponymous character. the narrator of Catcher in the rye is Holden callfield. And where it's a third person narrative then the voice is that of the author.

Ian, I couldn't agree more about narrator. How do these things come to be forced on us. The Latin verb Narrare is to relate. Clare
