narratee

Maybe Rimbaud stopped writing because he became his own narratee.

I continue to worry about who my narratee is.

How is the narratee constructed in the text?

Maybe I am both narrator and narratee.

In both Corwin's and Random's case, we are conscious of another narratee.

As Gerald Prince says, a fictional narrator constantly speaks to a "narratee" whose presence is more or less explicit in the text itself.

In the same way, Gerald Prince posits a "narratee", Michael Riffaterre posits a "superreader", and Stanley Fish an "informed reader."

He is a leading scholar of narrative poetics, and has helped to shape the discipline of narratology, developing key concepts such as the narratee, narrativity, the disnarrated, and narrative grammar.

In A Song of Stone, the narration is in the present tense and addressed to a narratee - Morgan, the castle, the reader - there were elements of narrative play back in Complicity.

No, I'm going to construct a persona that will reside here; I'm going to make assumptions about my narratee (regardless of whether you actually exist) and thus I have turned the blog environment into a space for fiction; at best, ficto-critical writing.

Only thing is, if I am both narrator and narratee, there is no point in writing; I know what I will write before I write it, so writing becomes completely redundant; all my text can be reduced to a '.'

You were once a mere reader; at this moment - here at the denouement of this story of a word that fought its way to become first the cynosure of the literati and now the favorite son of the politerati - you have been transformed into the narratee.
