Abstract
As a literary device, choice of point of view is one of the most important technical decisions an author must make when writing a novel because of the effects emerging from this choice. If an author chooses first person point of view over third person point of view, the overall effect of the novel will differ. Lee Smith is keenly aware of the importance of point of view and manipulates it in both Black Mountain Breakdown and Oral History to create the overall effects which she desires for each novel.
