Narratortype in this story:
extradiegetic:
heterodiegetic:
overt: In this version of the novel we find the simulated dialogue with the audience clearly expressed, f.ex in the question on page 4: Storyteller, why was it that Chai Jin was displeased with Wu Song? We have an explicit reference to the storyteller as the narrator, addressed by a simulated member of the audience. Therefore the narrator is here clearly defined as overt.
