Nostalgic Narrator: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

This is a specific type of [[Framing Device]], a [[Point of View|first-person]] [[Narrator]] who is looking back on his experiences. Generally (not always), it's an adult looking back at his childhood. These stories are generally big on nostalgia, but they also attempt to capture the naïveté and confusion so prominent in childhood. Since it's the author looking back on things, we may get [[Unreliable Voiceover]]s or other inconsistencies, but we also tend to get a candid look at childhood—including petty fights and foul mouths.
