My daughter, the narratologist
My 2.5-year old daughter-genius--Athena--just told me that a piece of junk mail contained a story about her parents drawing a picture of a cow, jumping over the moon.
Who knew she was ready to have a character narrator (Athena) describe a story about character focalizers (me and Kelly Haramis, wife), describing a focalized object (cow/moon--which in itself is drawn from the rich cultural and morphological tradition that stands outside the entire narrative?
Federman, look out.
