Abstract

marabou stork nightmares gains its narratological interest from its use of a strange ANP and a variety of ENPs. On the basic level, the narrator is intradiegetic and homodiegetic, writing with internal focalization throughout the novel. However, there is plenty of innovation in the use of this basic format.
As discussed in class, marabou stork nightmares presents the reader with an interesting quandary concerning the ANP. Since the story is told in the first person subsequent voice, it is clear that there must be one somewhere.
