In CA Conrad's advanced ELVIS course, he said he changed from first to
third person, if my memory is correct. That gave me the idea (plus I was
taught this in writing at UTS)
I am thinking the French term, free indirect style, as discussed by
Barthes and used by Deleuze, esp his lyrical-like book on Bacon, would
be a better term then free indirect discourse which tends to have a more
strict formal meaning in anglo-american lit theory. Also seems as more
loose and open, a way of reading what Frederick is doing and which I
often read and read again.
Again, the third person distance can get in here. (My 20 year ago grad
thesis, which used everything from inverted pyramid reportage to verse
ballad was describe as free indirect so am still left confused by the
term.)
