Anybody ever seen a story which starts where the near-omniscient third-person narrator unexpectedly show up as "I" halfway through?
Like, it turns out that the narrator was a character this whole time, and they play a significant role in the back half of the story?

Slaughterhouse-Five is almost this, but establishes up front that the narrator is a minor character in the story. Here it would be a twist

If you haven't seen this device used, do you think it would work? (If you have, of course, it may be overused and hence worth ditching...)
