. . . to works I was discussing in each of your sections today.
Sea Oak by George Saunders--a story in which the character hasn't made his complete change by the end, but he's shown to have the means to change so the change is implied. (discussed only in my 11:00 class but recommended to all.)
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov-- a novel famous for following an unlikeable character. Here's the opening (my favorite novel opening of all time) and a nice article about how it's perverse without being obscene. (Note:I recommend reading the annotated edition, which is what I linked to on Amazon, rather than the plainer "anniversary edition")
