“Narrative function rather than a mere narrator”: Narratological experiments in Thilo Reffert’s radio plays for children

Abstract

Thilo Reffert’s radio plays for children Nina und Paul, Leon und Leonie, and Fünf Gramm Glück experiment with forms of multiperspectival and metaleptic narration as well as non-human narrators. This article will examine the aforementioned aspects while discussing them in the context of contemporary radio drama for children.
