It's narrator is dead. Also Indignation by Philip Roth (my main man!). I've had short stories floating around for years that I'm still trying to "finish." All we can do is keep trying. As for the writing instruction guides -- I consider them crap. I write what and how I write. I couldn't do it any other way. Have you read The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. It’s narrator is dead.
