Some serious wizardry with first person unreliable narration.

"The saddest story (he) had ever heard" is in fact the story of the least observant and most gullible man who ever lived - which is kind of the point. Stephen Donaldson recommended this book when I went to his signing event several years ago. This isn't the sort of novel I would normally gravitate to, but I burned through it quickly.
