In this article certain aspects of the relationship author‐character‐reader in John Miles's novel Kroniek uit die doofpot are discussed. The implications these have for the possible meaning of the novel are scrutinized. Miles took great care with the text‐internal discourse particularly between fictive author (author‐narrator) and fictive reader (reader‐character) in order to involve the implicit reader in an exceptionally explicit and frank manner, by which the engagé‐perlocution of the novel is intensified. The following aspects are investigated: (a) universalizing by author and characters; (b) identification between author and character; (c) linguistic signals of identification among author, character and reader and; (d) the part played by “built‐in reader reactions”
