Writing the Unreliable Narrator in Young Adult

Bring your liars, thieves, and other unsavory young adult characters as we explore how to tell the story through the eyes of the unreliable young adult narrator. What makes a narrator unreliable? How can we tell a story through his/her eyes without alienating our readers? We’ll explore the unreliable narrator in all his/her complexities as we look at young adult novel excerpts from: Inexcusable by Chris Lynch, Invisible by Pete Hautman, and Liar by Justine Larbalestier. The class will include writing exercises designed to help us better understand that liar, thief, or unsavory character wanting to tell his/her story!
