" I reach for the iron grab bar and fling myself upwar. My left foot and elbow hit first, and thenmy chin, which smashes onto the metal edging....... The noise is deafening , and my jawbone bangs rhythmically on the iron edging." (Gruen 25)
Reaction
When I read the first page I was laughing because the old man is funny. But then when the next chapter talkes about another person I start to make the connection that this is Jacob and that my book has dual narrative voice. When I read other people's comments about this book I noticed that a lot of people did not like the book but only one person did. and the book grabs my attention. So far it is not that bad.
so, as you must have picked up by now, this book is fiction. The moment you think "dual narrative voice" it must be a fictional work
