Epistolary Novel: Difference between revisions

* ''[[We Need to Talk About Kevin]]'' is a series of letters all from one woman, concerning her son, whose disturbed personality gets slowly revealed as each letter passes.

* Anne Frank framed her journal, published as ''Diary of a Girl'', in the form of letters to her imaginary friend Kitty.

* The Newbery Medal winner ''Dear Mr. Henshaw'' by Beverly Clearly consists entirely of the protagonist's letters to the titular author (as well as his own diary entries).

** All of the 'letters', after the halfway point of the book, are actually diary entries; the protagonist's creative-writing teacher told him to pretend he was writing to someone to make it easier. The dropping of "Dear Mr. Henshaw" at the beginning of entries signifies his getting used to journaling.
