Are there any stories from the perspective of a brainlet? Like first person perspective of a low iq individual.

Haven't read it but isn't there a Faulkner book that's supposed to do that?

It only works if you are smarter than the mc because then you can pick up on things that they do not or things that they are confused by.

First-person-retard perspective = based perspective.

>The Sound and the Fury (Faulkner)
Only one chapter, but it's a quarter of the book. Benjy knows what's important in life, viz. Caddy smells like YES BENJY WE KNOW

>Flowers for Algernon (Keyes)
"I dont think I passd the RAW SHOCK TEST"

>The Inheritors (Golding)
Maybe Lok is not technically a retard, but he's not the sharpest Neanderthal in the box. Written in third-person, but we see everything through his eyes. He doesn't understand much of what's going on.

>Barnaby Rudge (Dickens)
Third person again, but never mind. He's the main character. And of course we get based Grip the pet raven as a bonus.

>Confessions of a Crap Artist (Dick)
A rare non-sci-fi PKD. Pretty good. It sort of has the same plot as The Broken Bubble (psycho woman tries to steal another woman's man).
