Are you fascinated by fiction that is told in non-traditional ways? Do you miss the days of sending and receiving long handwritten letters to share your thoughts and feelings? Were you fascinated by This is How You Lose the Time War, The Divorce Papers, Letters From Skye, Where'd You Go Bernadette?, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, World War Z or We Need to Talk About Kevin? How about classics, such as Dracula, Frankenstein: Or, the Modern Prometheus, The Screwtape Letters or Flowers For Algernon?
Their common denominator --> various forms of written communication, from letters, to diaries/journals, to e-mails to newspaper accounts, to blogs, to checklists, to departmental business documents and Post-It Notes.
If this format of storytelling appeals to you, then you'll want to explore the new booklist available on the libraries' BookGuide readers advisory pages as of this month -- Epistolary Fiction. Covering ancient literature of antiquity through the first decades of the 21st century, you'll find hundreds of fascinating reads -- and all titles that are owned by the Lincoln City Libraries are hotlinked into our online catalog, to allow you to check on availability and/or place holds.
