Two things:

I haven't gotten my last couple of Bananfish posts, so I'm not sure they're 
going through.
Second: I'd like a clearer definition of Unreliable Narrator, but there are 
a number of voices that I don't trust.  For example, Vonnegut's Bluebeard 
has skewed opinions, as do the books Venus on the Half Shell, Razor's Edge, 
and Rand's Anthem.
Other than that, I need some clarity
