Free Indirect Discourse (with some mention of Joyce’s ”The Dead”) (1a-23)

A class that was supposed to be about "The Dead" but wasn't really: more about truth in fiction, the difference, gulf, and interface between the fictional world and our world.  First person narratives and the little they guarantee.  The difference and interface between narrating narrator and narrated narrator, and its parallel in the third person narrator of FID and the point of view narrated.  The first sentence of "The Dead."
