Shin, Younghun. “Credibility of the Narrator and Ethics of the Other: A Study on Chang-rae Lee’s On Such a Full Sea.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 42.2 (2016): 81-104. This article aims to analyze On Such a Full Sea by Chang-rae Lee, focusing on the complex composition of the narrator and Fan’s ethics of the Other. So far critical attention has been paid mainly to the diasporic subjectivity of the first person plural narrators. What matters, however is that the narrators make it clear that they have no intention of being objective reporters of the heroine’s quest. Rather, they take a moral stance through which they freely interpret or even fabricate the details of her journey. They purposely sacrifice their own credibility as narrators so that they can induce readers to follow and reconstruct the exact details of her pursuits. The future dystopia is a tripartite society of stratified classes. Fan leaves her home in B-Mor in search of her missing boyfriend and the father of her unborn child. The narrators deliver us her story because they believe or hope to believe that her adventure could inspire us to dream of a better world. Faced with a series of unexpected adversities, she behaves not on the ethic of reciprocity but rather on ethics of the Other. In other words, she would stand up for the good of others at the risk of hurting herself or even losing her own life. It cannot be said that Fan herself tried to transform the society of rigidly stratified classes. Instead, the narrators would like to invite the readers to engage in the movement to change the world.
