Plot Query pop Quiz??

Post by Bert. »

I can remember hearing years ago about a book the final twist of which is that everything in it is the last memory of a drowning man.

Can anyone tell me what the book is?

Sorry, don't know that one.

The only thing I can think of that is remotely close is the Life of Pi, where the story is (perhaps?) an allegory made up by a shipwrecked boy to make sense of what actually happened.

There's a short story where a guy is hung from a bridge (US civil war??) and turns out the story of his escape via falling into river is his dying thoughts/dreams. Maybe he drowned.

Can't remember title / author anyway. Read it at school.
