Marcelo's voice in Marcelo in the Real World is one that stays with me long after I've read this novel. It's written in first person, yet Marcelo's habit of referring to himself in the third person as "Marcelo" distances me, as a reader, from this complex character. How do you feel about this choice of voice? How do you react to it as you read this intriguing novel?
