Jakester

~

Reilly the Red has written a book.

It's called: Jakester.

You are being treated to the first edition:






























I think it is important to note that she left the last page as her "about the author" photojournal.


I think I just might have a mini-me on my hands!

  1. The way the author moves between points of view in her narrative ("I don't want to listen." "He is silly.") provide a great deal of insight into the author's own consciousness. While it appears the author is uses the first person voice to indicate the character of Jake is speaking, the lack of quotation marks could perhaps indicate the author's own self-awareness. Perhaps the author is only using "Jake" as a medium through which to voice her own sense of the world and her place in it.

    Too cute! I am reminded of the time that my then eight-year-old sister somehow acquired a long roll of shelving paper. She wanted to use it to type a story about her life on Mars!

  3. He would definitely tell you to question the narrator's reliablity!

    I miss Chauncey.
