Anne Rice
“The truth is, I hate not being the first person narrator all the way through! To paraphrase David Copperfield, I don't know whether I'm the hero or the victim of this tale. But either way, shouldn't I dominate it?”
Anne Rice, The Queen of the Damned

Jasper Fforde
“I would so hate to be a first-person character! Always on your guard, always having people read your thoughts!”
Jasper Fforde, Lost in a Good Book
