But what about when the narrator isn't giving the full story? When about when you can't trust them at all? And where's the line between unreliable narrator and ineffectual storyteller?
In this episode, we break down everything you could ever want to know about writing unreliable narrators - from different types, to best examples, to pitfalls to avoid.
(Note, dear listener, that this ep contains spoilers for several books and films, but telling you which would reveal that they unreliable narrators... It's a Gordian knot that's beyond our abilities to sever, so potential spoiler warning for things made before 2011.)
