This paper reflects on the concept of the implied reader in narrative fiction, with special reference to Walker Gibson and Wayne Booth’s original conception, and to Brian Richardson’s recent work on multiple implied readers. The fuzziness of the concept of the implied reader, and its tendency to multiply, is shown to be related to the diverse interactional and interpretive uses of the texts.Downloads
