This Census-Taker

  • ... that China Miéville's novella This Census-Taker fluctuates between first and third person to convey the trauma felt by its protagonist? Source: [1]: The story’s sentences continuously slip between third- and first-person narrations, capturing a tension between the narrator’s intimate experience of the events in question and his complex (and traumatic) emotional distancing from these same events., and [2], p. 354: it presents an overpowering need to transmit a witnessed trauma arising from a psychical confusion.
