: Re: Is the MC in first person singular always all knowing? While writing a first-person singular novel, is the MC all-knowing? How do we handle plots which do not include the MC, like something

No not at all. The narrative is limited to what the main character knows. If something happens off page without the MC present, the MC must learn about it either on page or off page.

Say the MC's father dies and he doesn't know. Either he discovers the body, or someone tells him.

But he is not all-knowing. He is limited to what a normal person knows. The narrative is entirely 'him.'
