Unreliable Narrators

[A book away from an episode of hoarders]

I need some books with unreliable narrators. Examples that I can think of, right off the top of my head


All genres are good.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you

Great choices in the comment above and the thread mentioned. (The Basic Eight is my favourite book, especially that one!) Other favourites of mine that I would suggest:

The Keep by Jennifer Egan
My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh
Leaving the Atocha Station by Ben Lerner
Crudo by Olivia Laing
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
The Princess Bride by William Goldman (This one is only a sort-of, the majority of the narration is third person but that story is embedded within an unreliable first person frame)
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami
Fingersmith by Sarah Waters
