It's interesting, isn't it, that in exploring insanity in stories, we consistently come upon the unreliable narrator? Of course, it's part and parcel of any first person narrative of insanity, and I suppose insanity is best, most interestingly explored from the inside, so it all makes sense--even if it doesn't (because, you know, it's craziness.)
Still, I'm going to seek a second person account of a journey through insanity just for comparison's sake--if you have any recommendations, let me know.
Anyway, I love a good, reliable unreliable narrator!
