Hello! I’m thinking about writing my bachelor thesis in literature studies about unreliable narrating and homosexuality. Now I’m trying to come up with novels that deal with homosexual unreliable narrators, preferably ones that are closeted and don’t explicitly talk about their sexuality. But other than Nabokovs Pale Fire I cant really think of anything. Do any of you know any more examples? Help would be very much appreciated!
The Immoralist by André Gide
Maybe also In Search of Lost Time by Proust? I haven’t read it but it seems to fit your description
Proust is probably too ambitious, I think writing about In Search of Lost Time would be more suitable for a dissertation since there’s so much to analyse. But I’ll look into The Immoralist, thank you!
