Temporally non-linear narratives

Apr 03, 2010 22:34

I'm having trouble thinking at the moment:

Can any of you think of novels with nonlinear structures that vacillate between tenses?  (I'm thinking from section to section, if not paragraph to paragraph.)

All that's coming to mind at the moment is As I Lay Dying (okay, lots of Faulkner) and The Waves (okay, yes, lots of Woolf).  Parts of Ulysses, too.

Hmm.  What else?

*Extra points if it's the same narrative consciousness from one tense to another.

literature, when google fails-a_a to the rescue, "the a_a reference desk"
