"Second-person narration is a somewhat unnatural way of telling a story, and it is seldom used. It does have one advantage the word you implies, more strongly than he or she does, the existence of a narrator who tells the story, so that, in effect you can get two viewpoints for the price of one."-- Damon Knight in Creating Short Fiction
