The most direct materials are obtained from very sketchy patches of V.'s memories and from his mother's memories.The others are obtained from the telling of Sebastian's friends and lovers.Still others are constructed by V.'s own artistic creativity.Based on these materials， V.'s narration is realized through vanous ways in terms of Sebastian's life： 1） He quotes Sebastian's words in direct discourse，2） He quotes directly the words of the other characters in telling Sebastian's life.3） He retells the stories of Sebastian learnt from the other characters in his own words.4） He records his journey of collecting Sebastian's life and love in pure narration.5） He speaks as if it is Sebastian who is speaking.That is， their voices， consciousnesses and souls merge with each other in free direct discourse.From the first to the fifth， V.'s power of reconstruction of Sebastian's life as a narrator is seen increasing from direct quotation from Sebastian's texts to his pure narration of his own texts concerning Sebastian's life and art.These rich layers of narrative discourses are employed according to the materials that they tend to transfer.The voices of Sebastian and other character （Nina in this case） that are delivered in their own words are quoted to talk about Sebastian's most intimate feelings and occult issues relating his life and art.The voice of Sebastian's lover Clare and his university friend， the poet and the painter are muffled and replaced by V.'s narration and retelling.For his own voice， decisions and interpretations， V.justifies them in a very reasonable way and in the last two chapters V.even tends to merge with his half—brother's breathing air to form one single voice， a voice that can talk life of Sebastian in both original and creative way.
