Sunday and Munday: The Voice of Lies and Truths
Two Truths and One Lie:
Van Gogh was my "gateway drug" into the field of art history.
I have no idea how Cole knows that I'm ticklish behind the knees.
Roger proposed on a Thursday afternoon.
POV:
Third person limited, with the focus on my muse. I do shift emphasis to also give insight and coverage of the motivations and thoughts of other major characters, especially Cole, but the primary focus of the narration is on Prue's reactions and interpretations of events. Is this POV reliable? No, not technically, although by my understanding of the literary terms it is -- the narrator is not Prue, and thus lacks her particular biases, but at any one time the narrator only knows slightly more than she does.
I made a deliberate choice about the role and symbolism of knowledge in the story, and so an all-knowing narrator would not have worked to demonstrate the psychological and practical effects of imperfect knowledge, if for no other reason than that I would have no ability to convey the characters' thoughts.
