		First-person narrative is a literary technique in which the story is narrated by one or more of the characters, who explicitly refers to him or herself in the first person, that is, "I."
		A strength of first-person narrative is that the character may also express feelings, thoughts, and experiences, and may reveal him or herself; therefore, the reader usually gains keen insight into the life of the narrator.
		The whole of the narrative can itself be presented as a false document, such as a diary, in which the narrator makes explicit reference to the fact that he/she is writing or telling a story.

		This course is not designed to be so overly prescriptive regarding the presence in fiction of first-person narrators that no useful analyses and discussions of closeness, confessionality, and distance may be generated.
		First of all, there is no one model for the fully successful first-person narration.
		For instance, a close third-person narration (whether dramatized or undramatized) is able to approach the intimacy of a first-person account, both at times laboring under the limitations of a single consciousness guiding the story/plot.

		First-person narratives are typical of first novels, but ones written in a voice as hilariously sympathetic and convincing as Cleave's post-Sept.-11- Petal are not.
		Nor is a narrative told entirely to Osama bin Laden, who, as the plot moves briskly forward, becomes a natural confidante to a woman made insane through inconsolable loss, who is brimming with questions of right and wrong, good and evil, justice and revenge.

	Untitled Document
		The origins of the first person novel, in English, have its roots in personal writing.
		Because these early first person novels, for the most part, took the form of personal writing, their subjects and theme, either consciously or accidentally, usually focused themselves on the intimacies of personal life.
		Similarly, in Defoe's introduction to his own Robinson Crusoe, he, as author in the book's incription, pretends that he is merely the editor of a real person's (Crusoe's) memoirs, and in this way again appeals to the personal, though in a different form, designating this novel, too, to be a novel of intimacy.
