Robin Yocum’s “A Welcome Murder” is a grand tour through the basement of life, highlighting many bad characters in their lowest times. Or maybe he shows us good characters playing bad hands they were dealt. I’ll leave it up to you to decide.
What Robin does with mastery is spin a great yarn from a half dozen perspectives. It’s Rashomon to the 4th power! He slaps you around with contradictory and countervailing viewpoints, all from the First Person point of view. Read it and enjoy!
How do you use Point Of View? Do you always let your reader know who is speaking? Do you have the courage to show contradictory points of view?
