Richard Wallace, a popular race car driver, has just transferred to Racing University after dropping out of school where he is the only non-hairy student on campus. He has to race daily as he is on a full scholarship, but he has already caught the eye of some of the ...

Last week we talked a little pov basics.

This time, how about we talk the fascinating device called the Unreliable Narrator. For anyone who doesn't know, this type of narration (usually first person in prose, but not necessarily) tells the story in question…but is not necessarily giving an ...
