Novels with documents in them

I'm interested in reading novels with documents in them. For example Carol Sheilds' The Stone Diaries which has photos in it, or Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe which has a map in it.

Does anyone know of any more?

Not having seen either of those, it's difficult to be sure exactly what your interest is. Is it in novels where the documents are integral to the story, or not as specific ?

Many, many books, particularly in the fantasy genre, contain maps. Far too many to list here.

Carter beats the devil contains a number of historical posters advertising magic acts, although they aren't particularly relevant to the plot.

The andromeda strain, if my memory serves me correctly, contains a number of documents in the form of lab reports and the like which are integral to the understanding of the book.

alias grace contains a number of contemporary newspaper reports and ballads and suchlike - it's a novelisation of a real event.

And there are any number of epistolary novels, in which the story is told in whole or in part by means of letters.

changing places mixes a number of literary forms so that some parts are epistolary, one is a script, etc.

I'm sure others will come along with suggestions more in keeping with what you are looking for.

Water for Elephants has the same type of photographs at the beginning of each chapter that The Stone Diaries does.

The Blind Assassin contains newspaper articles as well as a few other documents within the story.

We made a list of epistolary books in anther thread just this week.

Gateway by Frederik Pohl has various tidbits (interviews, mission reports, classified ads, some computer code, etc.) interspersed throughout the text.

Are you talking about books that have separate, loose documents? There are quite a few of those these days, it has become a trend. I'll see if I can scare up a few, though it's hard to tell them just by looking at the cover.

Most of them are aimed at a younger audience.

Pirateology comes to mind, and I saw one about Jane Austen at Barnes & Noble the other day.

How bout The Documents In The Case, for the obvious example? :D A mystery novel told entirely through transcripts of relevant documents (letters, legal papers, court depositions, etc...)

Also, there was a post here asking for a similar book last month, if that's helpful.

How about The Griffin and Sabine Trilogy by Nick Bantock? It consists of Griffin and Sabine, Sabine's Notebook and The Golden Mean, all of which (I believe) are epistolary novels. I don't know how to do hyperlinks on here, but here's a list of epistolary novels from the Madison Public Library: http://www.madisonpubliclibrary.org/booklists/epistolary.html.

Minette Walters often intersperses documents related to the case in her mysteries.

Dennis Wheatley did several mysteries that are presented as a set of documents-- for example The Malinsay Massacre. A similar idea is Shadows in the Asylum by D.A. Stern subtitled : The Case Files of Dr. Charles Marsh, with the entire text presented as the documents in a file.

The Book Thief has journal scrawls within it, and it's a great book.

All four of WG Sebald's novels have pictures, photos, newspaper articles etc. interspersed with the text. They are Austerlitz, The Emigrants, The Rings of Saturn and Vertigo.
