I thought THE DISREPUTABLE HISTORY OF FRANKIE LANDAU-BANKS was thought-provoking, a pleasure to read, and a page-turner all in one. It wasn't until I had finished that I realized the unnamed third-person narrator makes a lot of summarizing commentary about Frankie's thoughts, actions, situation, etc. I have wondered ever since why the author chose this particular narrative voice. Any thoughts on this?
