I've always associated 2nd person-narrative with Bright Lights Big City by Jay McInerney. It's entirely in 2nd person, although not very long, and I like it a lot - the writing style is amazing. I think its narrator-protagonist is more alienated than anything, and also quite cynical and self-centered, so the 2nd person fits perfectly. Thank you for your response!

I think it was really cool. Very original, and indeed I felt like I was more involved in the story. Keep using it ! Thanks for writing.
