Hello! I’m thinking about writing my bachelor thesis in literature studies about unreliable narrating and homosexuality. Now I’m trying to come up with novels that deal with homosexual unreliable narrators, preferably ones that are closeted and don’t explicitly talk about their sexuality. But other than Nabokovs Pale Fire I cant really think of anything. Do any of you know any more examples? Help would be very much appreciated!

    Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin comes to mind immediately.

    Another good fit would be The Folding Star by Alan Hollinghurst.

    Amazing novels, amazing writers, The Folding Star has clear allusions to Nabokov as well so could make for a fruitful comparison.
