And that's why the most recent issue of ABC (Deliah) doesn't work for
me: it doesn't adequately get me into the head of the narrator. It's
really a very dialogue-driven story, which I don't think works well in
first-person: people don't usually remember discussions verbatim.
But I do like Jesse's reasoning why Deliah changes the spelling of her
name.
