Line 64:
* ''[[Against The Day]]'' by [[Thomas Pynchon]] manages four genres, all waiting. {{spoiler|They are boy's adventure, western revenge, geek eccentric science and spy adventuress.}} In different parts of the book, one will be become more dominant.
* ''[[A Thread of Grace]]'' follows Nazis, Italian Catholics, Italian Jews, and other Jewish refugees all over Northern Italy in the waning days of World War II.
* The Polish young reader book, ''"Cyryl, gdzie jesteś?"'' (Cyryl, Where Are You?) begins with three threads at once since chapter one, and blooms into as many as ''eight'' plot threads at once, sometimes jumping between them one sentence at a time. Also, two of the threads ost distant from the main plot are [[Painting the Fourth Wall|marked with a different font style]]. When the characters from these two plot threads come together near the end of the book, their font styles briefly meet in a single paragraph.
* ''[[Malazan Book of the Fallen]]'' constantly switches between numerous POV characters and plot threads. Some chapters, especially later on, are entirely spent on giving updates of what every POV character in a given location is currently doing, which naturally doesn't allow for any of their plots to progress all that far. The author likes to wrap up most of the threads with a huge fight at the end of a volume, justified with the in-world principle that "power draws power".
