Actually to be more precise, I was thinking that CO is in the same mode
as Sunset Blvd ... which it is, but neither of them satisfies Gene's
original request, because they're in *past tense*. I haven't seen The
Opposite of Sex so I can't tell if it belongs
What characteristics might distinguish a *first person present tense*
voice *NOT* to be an "interior monolog"? I mean to say, couldn't *any*
of the first be interpreted as the second?
