Bump.

Are you sure this was a work of static literature? The text having only one side of the interrogation sounds very much like Andrew Plotkin's Interactive Fiction work Spider And Web.

This is an interesting game! I doubt this work was interactive though — you'd think the (older) lecturer would have said "the player" or "you/your" at some point, which would have immediately suggested a game. I'm pretty sure he referred to the characters as "men," whereas as far as I can tell this game doesn't specify the player character's gender. And I'm still fairly sure the setting was more realistic, and that the silent character was completely absent from the text — it sounded like the text was essentially a fictional transcript (i.e. strictly spoken dialogue) with one man's lines completely removed.

not really an "interrogation" but the "fictional transcript with the interviewer's lines removed" sounds a lot like david foster wallace's brief interviews with hideous men
