The Educational Novel: The Intended



The Intended can be described as a retrospective piece of work. One in which the narrator takes a look back at his life with both candor and embarrassment.  It is a novel of imbrications in which the past overlaps with the past, the present, and also with what is supposed to be future, but which now within the temporally unallocated fictional present, becomes also the past. The narrator recalls his past with shame but intends to change the darkness that characterizes his past with the new found light; education.
