Wood calls as an expert witness to the power of the complex narrator the German novelist W. G. Sebald, an author who favors the free indirect style, rather than the all-seeing, all-knowing one. According to Sebald:

I think that fiction writing which does not acknowledge the uncertainty of the narrator himself is a form of imposture which I find very, very difficult to take. Any form of authorial writing where the narrator sets himself up as stagehand and director and judge and executor in a text, I find somehow unacceptable. I cannot bear to read books of this kind.…I think these certainties have been taken from us by the course of history, and that we do have to acknowledge our own sense of ignorance and of insufficiency in these matters and therefore to try and write accordingly.
