If any of you have read Henry James, my favorite example is this novel
-
called What Maisie Knew,
-
which is told in free indirect discourse through the consciousness of a child,
-
Maisie, who is the child of an aristocratic family,
-
the parents of whom are always having extramarital affairs.

It's a very confusing family to be living in, for this young girl,
-
and the narrative is extremely confusing.

Well, Jones will have nothing to do with that kind of partiality,
-
that kind of limit on perception, so he has left behind those
-
modernist experiments with transcribing the very limits of human consciousness,
-
and he is up in the God consciousness of the nineteenth century.
