So we have to be aware that Christopher, as the
narrator, can choose what to tell and what not. So it
doesn’t really reflect the real world, but only his
world.
What is a white lie according to Christopher?
Choosing to tell some events, not the whole thing
As a result, his novel is a white lie.
Hence, the line between the truth and lie is blurred.
Christopher may choose to tell only the things that
he’s interested and we’re reading his
interpretation, not the reality.
