Both Life of Pi and A Strange Manuscript Found in a Copper Cylinder juxtapose the narrative of a castaway's experiences with the later telling of the tale. Exploring the limits of "story," they present fantastic narratives that trespass upon credulity and that require-but do not always receive-a leap of narrative faith
