The narrative voice is hard to capture but vital to the success of any novel 鈥� from the first person to the third person, the narrator guides and leads us - and sometimes deceives us - as we read. Sarah Dillon will be joined by the novelist Richard Beard, whose memoir The Day That Went Missing was published to great acclaim last year. They鈥檒l be discussing the literary voice: first, third or rarely seen second person narrators, comic narrators and slippery unreliable narrators. Illustrated with a selection of readings by Fenella Woolgar, Sarah and Richard will investigate some of the best voices in fiction
