Unemotional narration moves audiences more than dramatic delivery

Evidence

It can be much more effective and moving if someone tells the story in an unemotional or undramatic way. You find that in Ishiguro. Remains of the Day or Never Let Me Go are good examples of that kind of writing, where the most important components remain unstated. The Leopard is suffused with, and is dependent on a variant of this. — Mark Fisher, Ghosts of My Life, 443
