Abstract

In this article, I argue that in Dune (1965) a transgression occurs which I will call the "ultimate deceit", a transgression that consists of the perversion (or alteration) of the fictional pact between writer and reader. This deceit is somewhat akin to the literary figure of the unreliable narrator. Peculiarly, the "ultimate deceit" in Dune is based on a very experimental way of articulating fictional and real perspectives; that is, in the alignment of the perspectives of the characters and the author with those of the readers.
