3 Responses to “Know any good epistolary novels like Dracula?”
The Perks of Being a Wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky
Go Ask Alice, by Anonymous (kinda… there’s a lot of speculation though)
The latter two are diary style, while The Screwtape Letters is specifically through correspondence.
Oh, and the USA Trilogy by John Dos Passos (brilliant novels, but hard to follow at times) includes a lot of the news clippings/newsreel stuff, but it’s not exclusively that way, and those are more of a Zeitgeist thing than a plot-progression thing.
About a third of Tim O’Brien’s In the Lake of the Woods is in the form of evidence lists, including blurbs of conversation, court hearings, pieces of physical evidence, bits of interviews, news clippings, and other such things. Not really epistolary, but quite unique and absolutely top-notch.
