I think it's been done in a few movies (including Stir Crazy). There's a very funny clip on Youtube from 'For A Few Dollars More' with Lee Van Cleef.

@JS Wiig .... Looking Forward .... This is a story of quiet desperation quelled by a steely determination to be ready to see the best when the time comes.

@Guttersnipe .... Paradise Missing .... This is a story where lies form a kind of truth that dwells mostly in the emotions rather than in the facts.

JS Wiig: The introspective nature of this tale of hard science fiction adds psychological realism to what is already a highly believable situation. The author depicts the narrator's emotions without resorting to melodrama.

Guttersnipe: The everyday details of life in this epistolary tale draw the reader into its imagined world. Through this technique, the surprising revelation at the end becomes even more powerful.
