The Unreliable Narrarator

[Shostie]

Thanks, kellychaos, for an intelligent response. I hadn't gone to the point of dissemination by the reader. My thoughts were revolving primarily around the author him/herself. As far as I can determine, the only completely objective prose arises in 2nd person; instructions. Where the writing is skewed not for the benefit of the author, but for the benefit of the reader. But even then, the writing is skewed. Case in point; instructions on assembling a computer desk. They are created for your enjoyment, but at the same time with the tacet assumption that by your enjoyment of the product, you will purchase and assemble more products by the same company.

This all leads me to wonder if any true attempts have been made to create 100% objective prose.

I'm guessing that it would be quite boring.
