... whose thoughts are presented is a reflector, in Stanzel’s (1985: 271, 287) terms, and though reflector passages are indeed nonnarrative in the above sense, it is only a matter of ‘‘Illusion der Unmittelbarkeit’’ (ibid.: 16). 4.

... further asunder as we move from the nov- elist to a superknowing teller or reflector to a part-knower of the kind that Culler so desires (26).
