unreliable narrator

What are some books with an unreliable narrator? I've heard the term thrown around but don't know of any books that have one.

Everything by Gene Wolfe (Peace and Book of the New Sun). Lolita, Frankenstein and other stuff I can't recall.

Also Poe and lots of other gothic stuff.

>implying there is any objective truth in a fiction narrative

Holden Caulfield

>>7455409
>Frankenstein

Just read that, and I thought so, too. If you look, you'll find the point very much debated.

>>7455395
>Frankenstein
No. No, no, no! It's not. Everything is given as the protag sees (perceives) it. Mary Shelley was prob too stupid too do that. No but really, it's not and it's a shit book.

>believing that sublimated experience doesn't eventually point to an objective truth for a wily detective.

Pretty much anything from Philip K Dick.

Make your case, or be condemned as inserting edginess.

Not the guy who posted this, but the theory is more or less a meme. I think it has to do with a passage in which Holden is watching Phoebe sleeping. Supposedly there is some dubious and slightly sexual diction, but I don't have an exact quote.
Also the prostitute's name was Sonny, and Phoebe's name may be a reference to Phoebes, the Greek (maybe Roman) Goddess of the sun. Phoebe -> Sun -> Sonny

It's not a meme, just today I presented to my acclaimed professor my theory that Holden rapes his sister, Phoebe, and he agreed completely, sharing that he thought the same when he had read the book in his youth.

>It's not a meme
You're post is also not evidence.
Or any real argument whatsoever.

>>7456894
A meme is decided by the people, I decide that it's not a meme, I am the people.

>>7456897
No dude, I'm asking you to convince me about the rape. What is your thought process? Which lines of the book got you thinking in that direction? Convince me you're right. I don't give two shits if it's a meme or not.
