“Labrador” by Kathryn Davis (post 3): The rest of novel continues story in which clearest point is protagonist’s multiple personality

Labrador is a good demonstration of the fact that a whole novel can be pervaded by the protagonist’s multiple personality—epitomized by Kitty and Rogni, her alternate personality—but no book review will tell you.

If the author doesn’t label the multiple personality, most readers, including most reviewers, don’t think of it.

And unlabeled multiple personality is so common in literature that its recognition should be taught in school.

Should fiction writers label the multiple personality in their novels? Not necessarily. Writing and reading are different.
