"Who's in Charge Here?": Teaching Narrative Voice in Frank O'Connor's "My Oedipus Complex."
Wentworth, Michael
Teaching English in the Two-Year College, v28 n4 p365-71 May 2001
Considers how Frank O'Connor's "My Oedipus Complex" provides a good introduction to the subtleties of narrative voice and control. Concludes by considering the notion of control and its relation to the narrative point of view in O'Connor's story and how it bears directly upon the value of reading literature and the reader's role.
