Henri-Frédéric Amiel, Amiel's Journal

Emily St. John Mandel

Emily St. John Mandel, Station Eleven

Robert Jackson Bennett, City of Stairs

Iain M. Banks
“Apparently I am what is known as an Unreliable Narrator, though of course if you believe everything you're told you deserve whatever you get.”
Iain M. Banks, Transition
