Another is 'Catcher in the Rye'. Holden Caulfield's retrospective account of his few days in New York City is full of his teenage angst and his views on the 'phony' world around him. His narration is very much a product of his own mind looking back on those experiences.
Also, 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' where Huck tells his story of traveling down the Mississippi River. His first - person retrospective narration shows his development as a character and his changing views on slavery and society as he reflects on his adventures.
One characteristic is the unreliable narrator aspect. Since it's a first - person retrospective, the narrator might misremember things or have a biased view due to their current state of mind while looking back. In 'The Great Gatsby', Nick's narration is influenced by his own feelings and what he has learned since the events took place.

One of the most famous is 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee. Scout is the narrator, and while she tells the story from her point of view as a child growing up, she also gives insights into the minds and motives of other characters in the town, like Boo Radley and Atticus. Another is 'The Catcher in the Rye' where Holden Caulfield narrates. He has his own unique view of the world, but we also get a sense of how others around him might be thinking or feeling through his observations.
Well, 'Don Quixote' can be considered in a way. While it has some elements that are different from a typical picaresque, the first - person view of Sancho Panza at times gives it a picaresque feel. Also, 'Gil Blas' by Alain - René Lesage is a well - known first person picaresque novel. It follows the adventures of Gil Blas as he moves through different social situations and encounters all sorts of characters.
Yes. 'The Great Gatsby' is a notable first person novel. Nick Carraway's narration gives us a view into the glamorous and tragic world of Jay Gatsby.
