While reading Euphoria I felt like I was asked to think like an anthropologist myself, trying to piece together the stories of these three people from observation and intuition. So it made sense to me that I had to figure out who the narrator was at any point in time (although it did get easier and easier as the book went on). I thought it was a clever device to deepen my engagement with the characters -- and keep me on my toes.

Bankson is the narrator, unless the passage is prefaced with the date-- then it is a passage from Nell's journal, which Helen sent to Bankson.
Barbara Schuster
Yes, I agree. It took a while for me to figure out who the narrator is and whose voice was each person. I had a bit of a time getting into the story, but then I got into it. I liked the descriptions of the natives ( I wish there were more of that) and the characters weren't as carefully drawn as I would have liked. That said, I did enjoy the book as I put more of my imagination into it. So, what happened in the dark cornor of the men's house, speaking of imagination. Was Fen doing drugs, or doing a woman or a man?

I am on page 86 and I have no idea who is talking or what is going on. Not a very good book. I read 50-70 books a year and this has to be one of the worst, have to read it for book club though. I need cliff notes!
