Wikipedia defines it as:
- A novel written as a series of documents. The usual form is letters, although diary entries, newspaper clippings and other documents are sometimes used. Recently, electronic “documents” such as recordings and radio, blogs, and e-mails have also come into use.*
I enjoy this narrative style because it has a kind of innate intimacy… or baka voyeour-like furtiveness
The ones I have enjoyed are :
- Dracula
- Daddy-Long-Legs
- Bridget Jones’s Diary
And most recent ones:
- The Hired Girl - one of my best reads in a long long time
- Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society
