I think there's nothing inherently wrong with writing in 1st or 3rd person. Both have their own strengths and weaknesses and so you should choose wisely dependent upon what kind of story you want to write. It is of my opinion that scenes of suspense are much more captivating when written in 1st person, for example, or that 3rd person provides the writer with a much looser style of describing the setting.

what's the name of the technique where the narrator is third-person but matches how the main character speaks/thinks/feels, e.g. Infinite Jest is third-person but the narrator speaks like the main character of the particular chapter, "Wardine be cry," etc.?

Free indirect discourse. Also known as the Uncle Charles principle (see Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man to understand why it's called the Uncle Charles principle).

Is Judge Holden's dialogue in Blood Meridian a good example of this too?

>> No.11028641

>>11027503
No because dialogue itself is in the words of a character. Free indirect discourse occurs in narration.
