Robert Coover’s “The Babysitter” is a mosaic of changing focalization and realities. It is elucidated by a framework of markers, which help readers track the shifts between focalizers as well as realities, fantasies, and hyperrealities. Written before the digital age, the story anticipated the technological advancements that would facilitate reader immersion in multi-branched and interactive narratives. Until recently, the lack of commercial viability of such projects left the likes of “The Babysitter” outside the scope of the mainstream. Today, the advancement of streaming platforms has provided the necessary infrastructure and audience reach to render experimental narratives more viable than before.
