In Footpath-1 we published an article by Natalia Deryabina: Unreliable narrators and translating The Remains of the Day . In Footpath-2 we published an article by Karen Hewitt: Who - or What - is an Unreliable Narrator? In Footpath-3 we published an article by Catherine Brown entitled simply Narrators which included a section on the unreliable narrator, Engleby, in Sebastian Faulks novel of that name. In these articles the authors discussed whether individual narrators are honest, deceitful or self-deluded, and explored how we might decide from textual evidence. Here, Catherine Brown extends her discussion by relating the concept of the unreliable narrator to the nature of narration itself.

Ishiguro "The Remains of the Day" (1986) and the translation of this work by V. Skorodenko. Our task was to show how difficult it is for a translator to maintain the author's modality when working with works with an unreliable narrator.
